UNSPSC 50583701: Non GMO california late garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO california late garlic. 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 50583701 Non GMO California late garlic, a Commodity code, does not correspond to the recent state and local contract opportunities identified in the source. The code names a specific produce item — California-grown late garlic grown without genetic modification — yet the available recent solicitations specify comprehensive fresh produce and food service contracts that make no mention of garlic as a line item or focus area.

The recent contract activity under this UNSPSC code consists entirely of general fresh produce and child nutrition food service procurements issued by school districts and state purchasing offices across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida between February and May 2026. Representative solicitations include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million per area (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026); the Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables supporting the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at 18 elementary schools in Tampa, Florida (proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000); and the Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and a la carte beverages across all Food Service locations in Travis County (proposals due March 11, 2026). These solicitations request line-by-line bids across 60 to 72 produce items spanning apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, eggs, and prepared produce options, but none specifies California late garlic or garlic products as a procurement line. The code shows no decision-relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity scope.
