UNSPSC 50583700: Non GMO garlics

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO garlics. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50583700 Non GMO garlics is a Class code. State and local governments procure fresh produce — primarily fruits and vegetables for food service operations — under this code, though the recent opportunity block shows minimal direct activity specifically tied to garlic or non-GMO commodity sourcing. The issuing bodies soliciting produce purchases span county parks and recreation divisions, healthcare coalitions, state food-service procurement offices, and school districts operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. School districts dominate the recent activity, with Early County Board of Education seeking comprehensive produce line-item bids alongside dairy, meat, poultry, and non-food service supplies for three schools. The scope of work in school district procurements emphasizes domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; compliance with Buy American provisions and HACCP plans is standard. County and regional health-service procurement mirrors this emphasis on food safety compliance, delivery timelines, and volume guarantees, with seasonal pricing adjustments common where availability fluctuates.

Recent activity spans Georgia (state food-service procurement), Florida (Collier County parks concessions and Marion Health Care Coalition produce proposals), and Early County Schools, suggesting regional rather than national concentration. The Early County Board of Education ITB (due June 8, 2026) represents the largest and most detailed recent solicitation under the code's family, requesting line-by-line bids on 300+ food items with firm pricing for 15 days post-award and escalation or de-escalation requests considered on a six-month basis supported by USDA or CPI data. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services (due March 6, 2025, with a local-vendor preference of 10 evaluation points for Collier or Lee County permanent business address and residency criteria). Marion Health Care Coalition sought fresh-produce proposals (due August 21, 2026) with seasonal pricing adjustments and delivery requirements. The Georgia state procurement (due June 22, 2026) covered food, supplies, and kitchen products with details in an attached specification document.
