The variety of organic garlic known as organic chinese garlic stems which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50493702 Organic chinese garlic stem purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments are not actively procuring under at present. The recent opportunities tagged with this code show no purchase of organic garlic stem purees or any garlic-based prepared foods. Instead, the nine most recent solicitations under the code span general food service procurements for state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, county senior services, state prison systems, and state health facilities — including fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy products, canned goods, condiments, and food service supplies. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or that this specific commodity sees minimal state and local demand relative to broader institutional food purchasing.

The issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state-supported living centers and health facilities), school districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with most opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and canned foods with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition procurement (due June 15, 2026) spanning hundreds of line items across multiple food categories and requiring Buy American Act compliance; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidder preferences and a prior purchase price of $13.75 per case. If pursuing work in this code space, focus on institutional food service and nutrition supply contracts through state agencies, school districts, and corrections systems rather than specialty produce items.
