UNSPSC 50593806: Dried Non GMO ramson garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO ramson 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 50593806 Dried Non GMO ramson garlic, a Commodity code, does not reflect meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities dataset tagged under this code shows no solicitations for dried ramson garlic or related specialty dried garlic products; instead, the records reflect broad school nutrition, senior services, and institutional food procurement across grocery items, fresh produce, eggs, and complete meal delivery services.

State and local food procurement under codes in this family remains active across school districts, county governments, state agencies, and special-purpose districts, but the tagged opportunities do not align with the narrow Commodity scope. School districts dominate the issuing bodies—Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Mississippi), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—alongside county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), municipalities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut; City of Dallas, Texas; City of Meriden, Connecticut), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission; State of Georgia), and specialized nutrition programs. Recent RFPs and IFBs span master grocery contracts (Fairfax County: IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026; Meriden Public Schools: RFP 026-41, anticipated award April 24, 2026 for $3.1 million), fresh produce procurement (Hancock County: IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026; Douglas County: RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026 for approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas), and specialized services including senior meal delivery (Hillsborough County: ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026 for $17.8 million over three years). The code shows no recent activity specific to dried ramson garlic procurement and should not be pursued based on available opportunity data.
