UNSPSC 50623705: Non GMO long keeper garlic purees

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO long keeper garlic. 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 50623705 Non GMO long keeper garlic purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure shelf-stable food products for institutional foodservice operations—canteens, cafeterias, kitchen supply chains, and consumables inventories at state facilities, school districts, and correctional institutions. The recent opportunities block contains no direct solicitations for garlic purees or any specialty pureed products; the code shows little relevant recent activity. The solicitations posted under or near this code span prepared foods (chicken wings, french fries, hash browns), canned vegetables and tomatoes, proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments for institutional kitchens, but do not name garlic purees as a line item or standalone procurement category. The absence of recent garlic-puree-specific opportunities suggests either minimal state and local demand for this commodity in isolation or a tendency for jurisdictions to bundle specialty food ingredients into broader fresh-produce, condiment, or prepared-foods contracts rather than source them as standalone line items.

Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS, Department of State Health Services), state correctional departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), county commissioners, and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). The geographic mix spans Texas (multiple HHS and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County, Burke County), and Oregon (canned tomato procurement). Texas and Georgia show the heaviest recent activity in institutional food procurement. The representative opportunities—Texas Health and Human Services IFB HHS0017872 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due August 25, 2026), Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), and Oregon Department of Corrections canned-tomato IFB S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026)—establish that state agencies and county social-services departments buy food in case quantities, require F.O.B. Destination delivery, demand compliance with USDA standards and federal procurement rules, and award on best value or lowest-responsive-bidder criteria. No recent solicitation in the block specifically names non-GMO garlic purees or comparable specialty pureed ingredients.
