UNSPSC 50603810: Frozen Non GMO spanish morado garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO spanish morado 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 50603810 Frozen Non GMO Spanish Morado Garlic, a Commodity code, describes specialty produce items that state and local governments procure primarily through food service purchasing for school lunch programs, senior services, and institutional foodservice operations. Recent solicitations show that the code captures frozen and fresh specialty produce alongside broader food procurement, though recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code emphasize shelf-stable and fresh proteins, grains, canned vegetables, and dairy rather than frozen specialty garlic specifically. The issuing bodies include county departments of community services, state procurement offices, and independent school districts, all of which bundle specialty produce into larger food-supply contracts. Early County Board of Education and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners represent typical buyers, each consolidating produce procurement with proteins, dairy, and dry goods into single line-by-line food bids.

The recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, with the Gwinnett County IFQ posted October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables, the State of Georgia bid posted May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products, and the Early County Board of Education IFB posted May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for line-by-line food and non-food products supporting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools. The Early County solicitation explicitly specifies domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with milk deliveries requiring temperature control (33F to 40F) and state milk-fat documentation; vendors must comply with Buy American provisions and carry $500,000 general liability insurance for bids exceeding $25,000. All delivery is F.O.B. Destination with pricing evaluated per unit of measure and awards made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
