UNSPSC 50623702: Non GMO chinese garlic stem purees

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO chinese garlic stems. 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 50623702 Non GMO Chinese garlic stem purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect procurement of that specific product. The recent solicitations tagged to this code show substantial volume in institutional food procurement — fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared foods for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and other state agencies — but garlic stem purees appear in none of the posted opportunities. The code's narrow nominal scope and the mismatch between the code name and the actual work being solicited suggest this category sees little relevant recent activity under its intended commodity definition.

The few traceable recent opportunities in the dataset span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, issued by state health and human services agencies, correctional departments, county purchasing offices, and school districts. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (October 23, 2026) for consumables including prepared foods and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (October 19, 2026) for shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (June 19, 2026) with a previous unit price of $13.75 per case. These procurements, while posted under the garlic stem purees code, represent commodity food buys that do not include the coded product and suggest either tagging error or the code's minimal current utilization in state and local procurement.
