UNSPSC 50603801: Frozen Non GMO california late garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO california late garlic 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 50603801 Frozen Non GMO California Late Garlic, a Commodity code, names a narrow product line but state and local procurement activity under it remains embedded in broader food purchasing. Recent solicitations tagged with this code show no targeted garlic procurement; instead, issuing bodies are buying mixed food-service inventories where frozen garlic may or may not feature as a line item. Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for food items to the Department of Community Services listed 35 line items of shelf-stable products including canned proteins, vegetables, sauces, and condiments—no fresh or frozen garlic was named. The Early County Board of Education's June 2026 bid for school lunch and breakfast program support specified approximately 300 food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments, again without garlic isolation. The State of Georgia's May 2026 bid for food and kitchen products provided no line-item detail in the posted notice. School districts, county departments, and state procurement offices drive the recent activity; these issuing bodies buy food service on annual or multi-year cycles tied to fiscal years and USDA reimbursement schedules.

Georgia dominates the three recent opportunities in the record (Gwinnett County, Early County Schools, and the state), with response dates spanning May through October 2026. No geographic concentration beyond Georgia appears in the source. The code shows little relevant recent activity and no evidence that frozen non-GMO California garlic commands dedicated procurement lines under state or local food purchasing. Vendors pursuing work under this code should expect to compete in mixed-commodity food service RFQs and IFBs where garlic is one component among dozens rather than a category driving award, and should verify line-item inclusion in each jurisdiction's scope before quoting.
