UNSPSC 50603800: Frozen Non GMO garlics

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO garlics that has been frozen 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 50603800 Frozen Non GMO garlics is a Class code that describes shelf-stable and specialty food ingredients purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations show the code encompasses a wider range of food procurement than the name alone suggests — counties, school districts, and state agencies are buying general food items including canned proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy products, and fresh produce through competitive bids and informal quotes. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), school districts (Early County Board of Education), and state procurement agencies (State of Georgia). The work involves sourcing food products for senior services, institutional meal programs, and public-sector food service operations, with emphasis on compliance with food safety standards, delivery logistics, and cost-per-unit pricing evaluation.

Georgia dominates recent activity under this code, with three posted opportunities spanning October 2026 back to May 2026. Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables with a due date of October 19, 2026 for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Georgia posted a bid on May 15, 2026 for food, supplies, and kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 due date; and Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line bid on May 11, 2026 for 300+ food items and 60 non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program, with a June 8, 2026 bid deadline and July 1, 2026 contract start. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and USDA compliance, with firm pricing for 15 days post-award and six-month price-escalation reviews.
