UNSPSC 50493700: Organic garlic purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic garlics which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50493700 Organic garlic purees is a Class code that encompasses fresh and prepared produce ingredients used in institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code tag show limited specific activity around organic garlic products themselves. State and local governments procure this item as part of broader food-service portfolios — school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and veterans facilities source produce and prepared ingredients to support cafeterias, institutional kitchens, and nutritional programs. The issuing-body mix spans school districts (elementary through high school nutrition programs), state corrections and corrections-adjacent facilities (Department of Corrections distribution centers), state health and human services commissions (state hospitals and supported living centers), and state veterans homes. School nutrition programs represent the heaviest concentration of recent activity, with districts in Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Texas, and Oregon actively procuring food supplies that would encompass ingredients at this commodity level.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code show that state and local procurement offices typically source produce and food ingredients as line items within much larger, multi-hundred-item grocery and food-supply contracts rather than as standalone organic-garlic-specific procurements. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due February 9, 2026 and June 19, 2026) and tomato paste (1,904 cases, due March 9, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (210 line items, IFB HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026 and HHS0016792, due February 23, 2026), and school districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Liberty County (Georgia), and Burke County (Georgia) issued IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive grocery and fresh-produce contracts spanning 200 to 900+ line items for the 2026-2027 school year. The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri, with scattered activity in Illinois. Most procurements operate on annual cycles with July 1 fiscal-year start dates and response deadlines clustered in April through June. No opportunities in the source explicitly name organic garlic purees as a distinct line item, suggesting this commodity-level code sees minimal standalone procurement or that sourcing occurs as a subordinate component within broader produce and grocery frameworks.
