UNSPSC 50583709: Non GMO solent wight garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO solent wight 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 50583709 Non GMO solvent wight garlic is a Commodity code that names a narrow product category but does not align with the kinds of produce actually being procured through recent state and local solicitations. The code nominally designates a specific garlic product variant, yet the recent opportunities indexed under it span broad food-service provision — water park and regional park concessions, healthcare facility produce delivery, statewide institutional food supplies, and school lunch programs. State and local buyers soliciting under this code are not uniformly seeking garlic; they are seeking full-spectrum food sourcing, from fresh produce through kitchen supplies and equipment. The issuing bodies include county park authorities (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), state departments (Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). The code's current use does not track a discrete product line but rather a catch-all tagging for food-procurement opportunities that may or may not include the specified commodity.

Recent solicitations show geographic spread across Florida, Georgia, and other states, with activity driven by seasonal and fiscal-year procurement cycles. Collier County posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) in October 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, with proposals due March 6, 2025 and a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited fresh produce proposals in August 2026 (due August 21, 2026) covering the 2026-2027 contract period. The State of Georgia issued an IFB in May 2026 (due June 22, 2026) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products without specified line-item detail in the public summary. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids in May 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items, 60 non-food supplies, and fluid milk across three schools under the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs, emphasizing domestic sourcing and whole-grain compliance with USDA 2024 Final Rule. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific garlic variety) and the breadth of actual procurement (full institutional food service) suggests this code is either mislabeled in the indexing system or repurposed to span food commodities more broadly.
