UNSPSC 50483809: Solent wight garlic purees

The variety of garlic known as solent wight garlic which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483809 Solent wight garlic purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not include garlic purees or any related specialty condiments. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food-service procurement — shelf-stable groceries, prepared proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy, canned goods, kitchen supplies, and consumables for state institutions, school districts, and county programs. The work being solicited is institutional food supply, not specialty items. The issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ, Illinois), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Gwinnett County in Georgia), and state-level purchasing offices. Repeat buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state supported living centers and related facilities) and school nutrition programs across Georgia. The code shows activity but appears to be misapplied to the commodity name — the actual purchases are generic institutional food, not the specialized garlic product the code nominally describes.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas HHSC has posted multiple IFBs for consumables and food products at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026, and HHS0017872, due August 25, 2026) and El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), with the El Paso contract showing prior-period spend of $1.5 million. Georgia school districts and Gwinnett County posted food procurement IWQs and IFBs in May and June 2026 for bulk groceries. Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case in the prior purchase). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas. These are commodity-level food buys—high-volume, price-sensitive, with firm fixed pricing, delivery within 7 to 30 days, F.O.B. Destination terms, and multi-year contract terms with renewal options typical of institutional food service.
