UNSPSC 50593804: Dried Non GMO germidor garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO germidor 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 50593804 Dried Non GMO germidor garlic is a Commodity code that in practice captures a narrow slice of the school nutrition and institutional food-service procurement market—specifically, garlic and other dried, non-GMO specialty produce ingredients sourced for large-scale meal preparation. State and local governments buying under this code are typically school districts, county education boards, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners' offices procuring ingredients for child nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The work involves supplying dried garlic and allied produce meeting domestic agricultural content thresholds (commonly 51 percent for processed items), nutrition standards such as the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and compliance with USDA Title VII and state health inspection requirements. Vendors must maintain cold storage or dry-goods distribution infrastructure, accept electronic ordering through school nutrition management systems, and provide product formulation statements, nutritional analyses, and health inspection documentation at bid submission. Contracts typically run one school or fiscal year (July to June or September to August) with optional renewals at the buyer's discretion.

Recent solicitations are concentrated in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions. Issuing bodies include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (on behalf of Bridgeport Board of Education), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (El Paso State Supported Living Center), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), the State of Georgia, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi). The Bridgeport Board of Education IFB for grocery items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spans over 1,100 line items including seasonings and produce; the Texas HHS IFB for food and consumables (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) reflects a prior-period spend of $1.5 million; Hancock County's fresh produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) covers 200-plus produce items; and Hillsborough County's senior meal services ITB (ITB2600289, due June 25, 2026) carries an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million. The code shows moderate activity with multiple annual cycles, but dried non-GMO garlic as a standalone commodity line item does not appear prominently in the recent summaries—most opportunities bundle garlic within broader food-service or produce categories rather than soliciting it as an isolated input.
