UNSPSC 50613807: Canned or jarred Non GMO rocambole garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO rocambole 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 50613807 Canned or jarred Non GMO rocambole garlic is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the taxonomy, naming a single specialized food product line. State and local governments purchase this item infrequently and in narrow contexts—the recent solicitations block contains no opportunities specifically for canned or jarred non-GMO rocambole garlic. The code appears misaligned with the actual procurement activity that dominates the broader food-supply market for state and local institutions, where schools, corrections departments, health and human services facilities, and veteran homes source from general canned-goods categories rather than specialized garlic products.

State and local food procurement activity concentrates heavily in school districts, state correctional and health facilities, and institutional food service operations across the South and Pacific Northwest. Recent solicitations from Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri reflect routine, recurring demand for broad food-supply categories—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and consumables—issued by school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood School District, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, State of Georgia), and county school systems. These solicitations run as IFB or RFP processes with response dates in March through June 2026, contract values ranging from approximately $52,000 to $9 million annually, and emphasis on Buy American compliance, USDA grade specifications, food safety certification, and delivery to multiple school or facility locations. Canned or jarred non-GMO rocambole garlic shows no recent activity and does not appear in any representative opportunity; the code warrants skip status pending evidence of actual state or local demand.
