UNSPSC 50483811: Venetian italian garlic purees

The variety of garlic known as venetian italian garlic which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483811 Venetian Italian garlic purees is a Commodity code. Recent state and local opportunities show this code tagged to institutional food procurement, but the actual activity does not match the code's specific scope. The opportunities posted under this code since May 2026—including Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitations for state-supported living center consumables, Gwinnett County's food-item IWQ, Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid, Burke County Public Schools' nutrition procurement, Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato order, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria products—cover broad institutional food categories spanning proteins, frozen specialty items, dairy, grains, canned goods, produce, and food service supplies. None of the posted solicitations explicitly mention garlic purees or Italian-focused condiments as line items; the code appears to be a misfiled tag applied to general food procurement rather than a reflection of actual demand for the product category. Issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, county boards of education and commissioners, school nutrition programs, and state correctional facilities across the South, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest.

Activity concentrates in Texas—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued at least four separate IFBs between May and October 2026 for supplemental and consumable food products, with contract values reaching $4.5 million potential over three years—and Georgia, where school districts in Ben Hill County and Burke County, plus Gwinnett County, posted nutrition procurement in May and June 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes in June 2026. The Ben Hill County Schools IFB (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools' sealed bid (posted May 11, 2026, due June 5, 2026) represent the school-nutrition segment, while the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) and the supplemental food IFB HHS0016792V2 (posted May 19, 2026, due March 19, 2026) exemplify state-facility procurement. The code itself does not correlate reliably with actual procurement focus; business development should verify whether garlic-puree vendors are materially pursuing these opportunities or whether the code is an administrative artifact.
