UNSPSC 50493707: Organic rocambole garlic purees

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

UNSPSC 50493707 Organic rocambole garlic purees (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of procurement activity tagged under this code. Recent state and local solicitations classifying work under 50493707 span broad food service supply, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, condiments, and institutional meal support — none of which are specifically organic garlic products or purees. The code shows activity across state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, multiple Georgia counties), and specialized institutional buyers (state supported living centers, correctional facilities). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent opportunities suggests either broad misclassification by issuing bodies or that the code has been overloaded to capture routine food procurement beyond its intended product line.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Illinois, and Oregon, with school districts dominating the opportunity set. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with prior period value of $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016089 for canned tomato products approximately 7,616 cases (due February 9, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools (due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026). School nutrition programs consistently drive volume and value; institutional food service for state facilities and correctional systems represents recurring demand. The code itself carries little decision relevance — pursue based on actual opportunity scope, not the code classification.
