UNSPSC 50493702: Organic chinese garlic stem purees

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 sees little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged with this code in state and local procurement span school districts, state agencies, and county governments procuring broad categories of food products—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive grocery assortments for child nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers—rather than specialty items such as organic garlic stem purees. The tagged opportunities reflect general food service procurement across multiple product lines and sourcing models, from weekly food orders to annual grocery contracts, but do not isolate or emphasize organic or processed garlic products as a distinct line item or category.

Recent procurement activity under this code appears concentrated in school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, with issuing bodies including school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Ben Hill County Schools), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and specialized facilities (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (response due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (response due April 6, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (response due April 27, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items and Net Off Invoice procurement (response due April 29, 2026). The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual procurement activity suggests this code may be misapplied to general food procurement; vendors targeting specialty organic produce or value-added garlic products should verify sourcing intent before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
