UNSPSC 51461506: Garlic

This classification denotes derivations of a natural product which US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier V1V998DC17 and which the Integrated Taxonomic Information System classifies under Taxonomic Serial Number 42652 as a member of Kingdom Plantae, Subkingdom Viridaeplantae, Infrakingdom Streptophyta, Division Tracheophyta, Subdivision Spermatophytina, Infradivision Angiospermae, Class Magnoliopsida, Superorder Lilianae, Order Aspargales, Family Amaryllidaceae, Genus Allium L., and Species Allium sativum L., more commonly known as GARLIC.

UNSPSC 51461506 Garlic is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code — Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) RFP S1070000015802 — solicits generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products for distribution across participating state and local government facilities, a category entirely unrelated to garlic or food commodities. The mismatch between the code's stated product and the actual procurement being conducted suggests either a data-tagging error or a fundamental misalignment between UNSPSC classification and the work being bought.

State and local procurement activity under this code does not appear to reflect garlic procurement in any material volume or geographic concentration at present. The available records do not support a business development focus on this code without clarification of whether the tagging is correct or whether garlic-specific opportunities are tracked under a different UNSPSC classification.
