UNSPSC 50613805: Canned or jarred Non GMO long keeper garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO long keeper 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 50613805 Canned or jarred Non GMO long keeper garlic is a Commodity code that describes preserved garlic products state and local governments procure as food service inputs, though recent solicitations tagged under this code predominantly reflect broad food supply contracts for institutional kitchens rather than garlic-specific purchases. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state facilities and corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and county-level school districts. The work being solicited under institutional food service codes includes weekly and quarterly food orders encompassing proteins, dairy, produce, condiments, canned vegetables, grains, and consumable supplies—with garlic and garlic products appearing as minor line items within much larger multifamily food procurements rather than as standalone solicitations.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Texas, with significant secondary activity in the Upper Midwest (Missouri, Illinois) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon). Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' school nutrition food bid (IFB #26271, response due June 15, 2026) spanning hundreds of line items across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and seasonings including condiments and preserved vegetables; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumable products solicitation (IFB HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items for state supported living centers with estimated prior-period spend of $1.5 million; Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato procurement (ITB S2910000017145, response due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases with USDA Grade B or better standards and sodium limits; and Rockwood R-VI School District's dual grocery procurements (NOI and standard grocery items, both due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 1,100 line items across approximately 6,900 daily lunch participants. State and local procurement under food service codes reflects demand-driven, fixed-price contracting with firm pricing for 12-month periods, quarterly escalation clauses indexed to USDA or CPI data, strict compliance with Buy American and USDA nutritional standards, and payment cycles of Net 30 to Net 40 days from delivery and acceptance.
