UNSPSC 50623703: Non GMO garlic chive purees

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO garlic chives. 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 50623703 Non GMO garlic chive purees (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its narrow product scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span institutional food service for state facilities, school districts, and county departments — but the solicitations uniformly request broad food categories (canned vegetables, proteins, condiments, fresh produce, frozen items, and consumable supplies) with no mention of garlic chive purees, GMO status specifications, or puree formats in any of the posted opportunities.

The mismatch reflects a common state and local procurement tagging inconsistency where broad commodity codes capture diverse food service line items. The actual buying activity under these related food-service codes centers on high-volume, mixed-category institutional procurement: Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice issue regular IFBs and IWQs for dozens to hundreds of line items annually, with annual contract values ranging from approximately $1.5 million to $4.5 million. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with activity also in Oregon, Illinois, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include IFB HHS0017449 (Texas HHSC, El Paso State Supported Living Center, food and consumables, due July 2026, prior period value $1.5 million), IFB HHS0018082 (Texas HHSC, Lufkin State Supported Living Center, consumable foods, due October 23, 2026), IWQ 140229 (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia, shelf-stable food items, due October 19, 2026), and IFB #26271 (Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia, comprehensive food procurement with Buy American requirements, due June 15, 2026). Because this code does not reflect recent state and local demand for non-GMO garlic chive purees specifically, pursuit under the code itself is not supported by current market activity.
