UNSPSC 50583707: Non GMO rocambole garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO rocambole 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 50583707 Non GMO rocambole garlic, a Commodity-tier code, sees limited recent state and local solicitation activity under its specific designation. The recent opportunities block shows no direct procurement of Non GMO rocambole garlic by name or specification. Instead, the code appears in a cluster of school nutrition and institutional food service RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs spanning fresh produce, vegetables, fruits, and eggs for child nutrition programs—categories that may encompass garlic as a bulk vegetable ingredient but do not isolate or emphasize rocambole garlic as a line item. State and local buyers treating this code as food procurement are school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Bulloch County School District in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Glynn County Board of Education in Georgia, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, and Austin Independent School District in Texas), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and a cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative representing 30 Georgia school districts). The geographic spread is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with outlier activity in Missouri and Florida.

Representative recent solicitations include Early County Board of Education's RFP for food items (due June 8, 2026) spanning 300+ line items across vegetables and produce for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, and the State of Georgia's IFB #4 2027-2026 for fresh produce (due May 27, 2026), neither of which specifies rocambole garlic as a distinct bid line. The Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) through the GEC Buying Cooperative procures fresh produce and eggs across 72 line items for 30 districts statewide with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, but does not call out specialty garlic varieties. The code's current activity suggests garlic, if purchased, is bundled into broad vegetable categories rather than sourced as a specialty or Non GMO rocambole product line with distinct specifications.
