UNSPSC 50483807: Rocambole garlic purees

The variety of garlic known as rocambole garlic which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483807 Rocambole garlic purees is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement practice covers shelf-stable prepared foods and ingredients used in institutional food service operations—specifically canned, jarred, or processed vegetable products and condiments sourced for cafeteria, correctional facility, and state-supported living center kitchens. Recent solicitations show the code operates as a line item within broader food and consumable procurement buys rather than as a standalone specialty item; rocambole garlic purees appear alongside canned tomatoes, canned vegetables, sauces, and other shelf-stable proteins and starches in institutional menus. Issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission), state correctional departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state departments of corrections, and local school districts and county systems. State-supported living centers and correctional facilities dominate recent activity, with school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia) and county senior services centers (Gwinnett County, Georgia) appearing as secondary buyers.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, driven by large institutional food service operations at state facilities. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017872 for consumables and noncontract items at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due August 25, 2026), which requested 20 line items of prepared foods and service supplies with annual usage ranging from 1 to 24 cases per item; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (due May 4, 2026), covering approximately 382 line items with firm fixed pricing and delivery to multiple distribution points; the Ben Hill County Schools food bid (due June 15, 2026), requesting hundreds of line items organized by category with Buy American compliance required; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), which awarded the prior purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Response cycles typically run two to three weeks; evaluation focuses on lowest responsive and responsible bid, compliance with USDA grades and FDA standards, vendor performance history, and delivery capability within seven days of order.
