UNSPSC 50603804: Frozen Non GMO germidor garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO germidor 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 50603804 Frozen Non GMO germidor garlic is a Commodity code that covers specialty frozen produce items, though recent state and local solicitations show the code being applied primarily to broader food procurement rather than garlic specifically. State and local governments use this code when purchasing shelf-stable and frozen food products for senior services, school lunch and breakfast programs, and institutional meal services. Issuing bodies span county governments, state purchasing offices, and independent school districts; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education are recent active buyers. The work involves responding to informal written quotes and sealed competitive bids for food items delivered to senior centers, schools, and institutional facilities, with vendors typically required to meet specifications on product condition, labeling, delivery windows, temperature maintenance for perishables, and federal compliance including Buy American provisions and E-Verify verification.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, where recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (35 line items: peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026; the State of Georgia's May 2026 bid for food, supplies, and kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and Early County Board of Education's May 2026 line-by-line bid for 300+ food items and 60 non-food products for school meal programs due June 8, 2026. Award typically goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing evaluated by unit of measure and delivery required within tight windows—Gwinnett County requires 72-hour turnaround where possible, and school districts specify Monday–Friday 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. delivery slots. Vendors must provide references, certify non-collusion, maintain insurance ($500,000 general liability minimum for school contracts), and comply with debarment verification and federal worker verification requirements on larger awards.
