UNSPSC 50613804: Canned or jarred Non GMO germidor garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO germidor 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 50613804 Canned or jarred Non GMO germidor garlic, a Commodity code, nominally covers specialty preserved garlic products; however, recent state and local opportunities show negligible activity directly aligned with this narrowly defined specification. The code appears substantially underutilized by state procurement offices, with no recent solicitations explicitly requesting non-GMO germidor garlic as a line item or procurement focus. The most recent opportunities in the dataset—including food service bids from Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri school districts and state facilities—encompass broad food supply contracts spanning produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and prepared items, but do not isolate or prominently feature this specialty garlic category. State and local buyers treating food procurement as a bundled grocery or produce category do not break out germidor garlic as a distinct bid line, instead absorbing such items within larger condiment, specialty ingredient, or bulk food buys under more general produce or provisions codes.

The limited recent activity suggests the code does not reflect current state and local purchasing patterns for preserved garlic products. Entities issuing food service contracts—school districts such as Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), as well as state agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs—consolidate ingredient procurement under broad food supply, grocery, or produce categories that do not segment or prioritize non-GMO germidor garlic. Recent opportunities with response dates ranging from February through June 2026 remain competitive but do not target this commodity code as a meaningful procurement vehicle. Vendors seeking state and local food-service work should focus on broader produce, grocery, or specialty ingredients families rather than this narrowly specified garlic classification.
