UNSPSC 50593800: Dried Non GMO garlics

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO garlics that has been dried for preservation. 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 50593800 Dried Non GMO garlics is a Class code covering specialty dried produce ingredients procured by state and local school districts, senior services agencies, and institutional food-service operations. State and local governments buy dried garlic and similar shelf-stable vegetable ingredients as components in bulk meal preparation, child nutrition programs, and congregate meal services for seniors and other eligible populations. Recent solicitations span school district nutrition contracts, state-level food-service procurement, and county meal-delivery programs where dried garlic appears as one line item among hundreds in comprehensive food and grocery bids.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases on behalf of Bridgeport Board of Education, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida for senior meal services, and the State of Georgia. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts), with secondary activity in Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery-items bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) covering over 1,100 line items including seasonings and fresh produce for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution across 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual spend. Dried garlic as a specific commodity does not appear isolated in recent state and local postings; it surfaces as a minor ingredient within broad food-service categories. Most opportunities are structured as IFB or RFP processes with firm fixed pricing, Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, and delivery to multiple school sites or senior-service locations on weekly or as-needed schedules.
