UNSPSC 50583706: Non GMO ramson garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO ramson 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 50583706 Non GMO ramson garlic is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialized produce items, including fresh vegetables and garlic varieties, for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments buy produce — fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty items like non-GMO garlic — through food-service contracts for schools, parks, healthcare facilities, and state institutions. The issuing bodies span school districts (Early County Board of Education), county park systems (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Scope typically requires vendors to meet food-safety compliance, deliver within specified temperature and freshness windows, provide USDA-compliant documentation (such as milk fat and bacteria counts for dairy or whole-grain certifications for bread), and often emphasize domestic sourcing, low-sodium formulations, and products without artificial additives. Contracts run annual or multi-year terms with renewal options, and pricing is often firm for defined periods with escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks.

The code shows recent activity across Georgia and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (ITB, bids due June 8, 2026) soliciting line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits to support the National School Lunch Program across three schools; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' North Collier Regional Park Food Services (ITN, proposals due March 6, 2025) seeking a qualified food vendor to provide diverse food and beverage options, with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points; Marion Health Care Coalition's Produce Proposals (RFQ, proposals due August 21, 2026) seeking fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period; and the State of Georgia's Food, Supplies, and Other Kitchen Products bid (ITB, bids due June 22, 2026) covering food and kitchen supplies across state operations.
