UNSPSC 50493703: Organic garlic chive purees

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

UNSPSC 50493703 Organic garlic chive purees is a Commodity code that describes a single food ingredient product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not actually procure organic garlic chive purees. Instead, the code appears in food service RFPs and IFBs issued by state health and human services agencies, county and municipal food service authorities, school districts, and corrections departments for comprehensive consumable foods and kitchen supplies—including fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, condiments, prepared foods, and food service disposables. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests this Commodity code either captures a narrow product line that state and local buyers rarely order individually, or is applied inconsistently by issuing bodies tagging broader food service contracts.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts) and Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and State of Georgia), with additional activity in Oregon (Department of Corrections) and Illinois (state-level food procurement). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), spanning 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery within seven days; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and sauces (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026, with prior purchase at $13.75 per case); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food and related items across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026, with Buy American Act compliance required). School districts and state human services facilities appear to be the primary end users; contracts typically require F.O.B. Destination delivery, three vendor references, compliance with debarment and E-Verify requirements, and firm pricing for an initial period with permitted adjustments tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks.
