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, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's narrow specification — a single dried spice ingredient with non-GMO certification — does not match any of the solicited opportunities in the dataset. Recent state and local procurement under related food-service codes targets broad-based grocery supply, fresh produce, eggs, meal preparation and delivery, and food-service distribution at substantially larger scope and dollar volume than a single specialty ingredient would support.

The most active food-procurement jurisdictions in the dataset are school districts across the Southeast, the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, and state health and human services agencies in Texas and Georgia. These buyers solicit comprehensive food supply contracts — master grocery bids spanning 1,000+ line items, fresh-produce bundles across 72+ items, and full meal-service delivery — through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB processes with response dates between late February and early July 2026. Contracts consistently require Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP compliance, comprehensive insurance, and firm fixed pricing. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) procured food supply and distribution for approximately $9 million annually; Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) valued grocery and produce supply at approximately $3.1 million; and Hillsborough County's senior meal service carried an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million. No solicitation identified garlic mustard as a specification line item, and no vendor activity targets this code.
