UNSPSC 50593807: Dried Non GMO rocambole garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO rocambole 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 50593807 Dried Non GMO rocambole garlic is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent relevant solicitations. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—grocery items for school food service, senior meals, fresh produce, general food supplies, and boxed meal delivery—do not include dried rocambole garlic or any specialized garlic products as line items or scope components. While several solicitations (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Meriden Public Schools, and Douglas County School System) do procure seasonings and spices as part of broader food-service contracts, none name dried rocambole garlic or garlic-specific commodities in their documented scope. The code's nominal product is too specialized to map cleanly against the broad-based grocery and produce purchasing that state and local buyers are actually conducting under this designation.

The issuing bodies pursuing food and produce procurement span school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, municipalities, and transit or senior-services authorities across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) all issuing fresh-produce or comprehensive grocery RFPs and IFBs between January and June 2026. However, none of these solicitations specifically call for dried rocambole garlic, and the few references to seasonings or spices appear only as generic categories within much larger food-supply packages. The mismatch between code and actual procurement suggests this code either sees minimal state and local activity or is being applied inconsistently to broader food-commodity classifications.
