UNSPSC 50613801: Canned or jarred Non GMO california late garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO california late garlic that has been canned or jarred 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 50613801 Canned or jarred Non GMO California late garlic is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable canned and jarred garlic products sourced from California, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct procurement activity under this specific code. State and local governments acquiring food for institutional operations—state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services—do regularly purchase canned vegetables and shelf-stable proteins in bulk through IFB and informal written quote (IWQ) processes, but the opportunities documented here emphasize broader consumables categories (canned tomatoes, mixed canned vegetables, fresh produce, proteins) rather than specialty items like Non-GMO California garlic. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, county school districts, and independent school districts, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and school nutrition programs appearing as repeat procurers of shelf-stable food products for institutional canteens, food service, and dining operations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026) spanning 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with annual quantities from 1 to 24 cases per item; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins and vegetables (response due October 19, 2026); and Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato procurement (June 2026) for 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case from the prior February purchase. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia (May 2026) and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia (May 2026) both issued school nutrition food bids encompassing hundreds of line items across multiple food categories with firm-fixed pricing and six-month or semi-annual adjustment provisions. No recent opportunities explicitly name canned or jarred Non GMO California late garlic as a line item; the code shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity under its specific scope.
