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 (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers dried garlic products, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span school nutrition grocery contracts, senior meal programs, and institutional food service—work that occasionally names garlic or dried produce as line items within much broader food supply scopes rather than as standalone procurement categories. School districts, county health and human services agencies, and municipal governments do solicit groceries and food supplies that include dried spices and seasonings, but the source records reveal no solicitations focused on dried garlic as a primary or distinct commodity.

State and local purchasing bodies treating this code as active include Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), 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), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia)—primarily school districts and state-level institutional food service operations across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Geographic spread leans heavily toward Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, and Texas. Representative recent work includes Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items for school nutrition (response deadline June 30, 2026), Texas HHSC's IFB for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical annual value of $1.5 million (responses due July 13, 2026), and Douglas County Schools' RFP for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million (responses due March 4, 2026). None of these solicitations emphasize dried garlic as a category; the code's appearance reflects generic commodity tagging rather than targeted demand for this product line.
