UNSPSC 50613802: Canned or jarred Non GMO chinese garlic stems

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO chinese garlic stems 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 50613802 Canned or jarred Non GMO chinese garlic stems (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement solicitations. The code's abstract name does not match any of the food procurement activities documented in recent opportunities.

State and local governments soliciting food products under related commodity codes are purchasing institutional food in bulk for state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, schools, and county social services programs. Recent solicitations from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia school districts, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice span canned vegetables, frozen proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and food service supplies—but none reference canned or jarred garlic stems specifically, and none identify this commodity as a line item. The issuing bodies are state departments, county commissioners, and school districts operating centralized food procurement for residential facilities, correctional sites, and multi-school nutrition programs. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026), and Gwinnett County's informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (quotes due October 19, 2026). Georgia, Texas, and Oregon show the most recent activity, with additional school district solicitations in Georgia.

The code shows no relevant recent activity. Vendors pursuing state and local food procurement should monitor institutional purchasing for standard canned vegetables, proteins, and prepared items—the commodities actually being solicited—rather than expect demand for Non GMO chinese garlic stems at the state and local tier.
