UNSPSC 50593801: Dried Non GMO california late garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO california late garlic 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 50593801 Dried Non GMO California Late Garlic, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities in the dataset span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food procurement—all anchored in fresh and processed food supply contracts with no specific line items for dried garlic. The City of Bridgeport's grocery solicitation (BNB052266), the Fairfax County Public Schools' master grocery contract, the Meriden Public Schools RFP for commercial and USDA foods, and the Douglas County School System's food supply and produce procurements all reference comprehensive food categories spanning vegetables, seasonings, and condiments, but none isolate dried non-GMO garlic as a discrete line item or focus. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement for El Paso State Supported Living Center references food and consumable products under NIGP class numbers without itemized product detail. School districts, county education boards, and state nutrition programs form the core issuing bodies buying food supplies, but the code's nominal scope—a single dried garlic variant—does not align with how institutional food procurement is structured or solicited in practice.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden, Bridgeport), Virginia (Fairfax County), Texas, and Mississippi, but none of these recent solicitations isolate dried garlic as a procurement line. The Hancock County Schools fresh produce bid and Savannah-Chatham's produce contract specify dozens of fresh and processed items without reference to dried garlic products. Bulloch County's comprehensive food bid and Meriden's commercial and USDA Foods RFP (anticipated contract value approximately $3,100,000) touch seasoning and condiment categories but do not itemize this commodity. The code shows little actionable market signal for vendors focusing on dried garlic supply into state and local institutional food services; procurement in this category is embedded within much broader food supply and master grocery frameworks rather than pursued as a discrete commodity purchase.
