UNSPSC 50613808: Canned or jarred Non GMO rose de lautrec garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO rose de lautrec 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 50613808 Canned or jarred Non GMO rose de lautrec garlic, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable specialty garlic products purchased by state and local institutions for food service operations. Recent state and local opportunities show activity centered on institutional food procurement for state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, school districts, and county social services programs. The work solicited includes bulk canned and jarred food items as part of larger consumable food supply contracts rather than specialty garlic as a line-item focus; garlic and similar shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, and condiments appear as individual line items within multi-hundred-item food service RFBs and IFBs. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state correctional departments, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of operational agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear repeatedly in recent solicitations for statewide institutional food service.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 in October 2026 (bids due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods including prepared foods and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, with 22 line items and delivery within seven days of order. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (IFB due June 19, 2026) with preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia requested sealed bids for school nutrition food products across four schools (IFB #26271, bids due June 15, 2026) under the Buy American Act, covering hundreds of line items with delivery to multiple school locations. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (IWQ 140229, quotes due October 19, 2026). Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, bids due May 4, 2026) for distribution to multiple warehouse locations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission also issued IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, covering 210 line items with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million.
