UNSPSC 50613809: Canned or jarred Non GMO solent wight garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO solent wight 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 50613809 Canned or jarred Non GMO solvent wight garlic, a Commodity code, sees narrow recent activity that does not clearly align with the code's nominal scope—recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code primarily solicit broad food supply contracts (canned tomatoes, fresh produce, weekly grocery orders, cafeteria food products) rather than garlic specifically. The State of Illinois, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, school districts in Georgia and Missouri, and other jurisdictions have posted opportunities for weekly food orders, institutional food service, and school nutrition supplies, with issuing bodies spanning state agencies, school districts, and county boards of education across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Illinois FY-27 IVHQ Quarterly Weekly Food Order (RFQ, due June 26, 2026) for brand-specific food items or approved equivalents; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumable products procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period; and the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato solicitation (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases with a prior purchase price of $13.75 per case.

School districts dominate the recent activity, with Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Muscogee County School District in Georgia all posting grocery, produce, or food service supply solicitations for the 2026–2027 school year. Most opportunities specify firm, fixed pricing with allowances for midterm adjustments tied to manufacturer price increases or federal cost indices (USDA Agricultural Marketing Service, Consumer Price Index, Urner Barry reporting for eggs), Buy American requirements where applicable, HACCP compliance, and delivery to multiple school sites weekly or as scheduled. Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia school districts (at least eight active solicitations), with additional activity in Missouri, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia. The code shows little direct activity for garlic as a distinct commodity line item, and most recent opportunities reflect institutional food service procurement rather than specialty preserved garlic products, suggesting the code assignment may be incidental to broader food supply buys or reflects legacy tagging.
