UNSPSC 50594902: Dried Non GMO garlic mustard

The variety of Non GMO mustard known as Non GMO garlic mustard 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 50594902 Dried Non GMO garlic mustard is a Commodity code that captures specialty food ingredients procured by state and local food-service operations, school nutrition programs, and institutional dining facilities. The recent opportunities shown under this code reveal that state and local governments are actually buying broad food-service and nutrition supplies—fresh produce, packaged grocery items, prepared meals, and institutional food products—rather than garlic mustard specifically. Issuing bodies span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for the El Paso State Supported Living Center), and county commissioners' offices (Hillsborough County, Florida). School nutrition programs and institutional food-service contracts dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts soliciting fresh produce, packaged grocery items, and prepared meals to support National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American requirements, and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. All contracts enforce strict compliance with domestic agricultural content thresholds (minimum 51 percent in processed products), HACCP plans, food safety certifications, nutritional labeling, allergen restrictions, and delivery logistics to multiple school and facility sites on firm fixed pricing with Net 45 payment terms.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative current solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (breakfast items, cereals, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, beverages, and meat) with delivery to central warehouse and school sites by June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple apple, berry, vegetable, and specialty fruit varieties with delivery to three school locations by June 26, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products under NIGP Class numbers 385, 390, 380, and 393 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 and historical annual value of $1.5 million; and Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services at 14 dining centers and seven senior centers with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 and bids due June 25, 2026. The code shows little activity specifically in dried Non GMO garlic mustard and reflects a mismatch between the stated commodity and the broad food-service procurement landscape currently active under this classification.
