UNSPSC 50584305: Non GMO prelina leeks

The variety of Non GMO leeks known as Non GMO prelina leeks. 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 50584305 Non GMO prelina leeks, a Commodity code, nominally covers specialty produce items, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code span a much broader scope of food procurement — fresh produce delivery, park and recreation concession food service, school lunch program supplies including vegetables and fruits, and state-level food and kitchen products. The issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), health care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia), reflecting the wide range of public entities sourcing food and produce across operations and service programs. The work actually being solicited includes produce vendor contracts for operational delivery, park food concession operations requiring menu variety and food-safety compliance, and line-by-line food and non-food bids supporting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements.

Recent activity spans Georgia and Florida, with solicitations posted between May and October 2026. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB in May 2026 for food and non-food products due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300 food items including vegetables, fruits, meats, poultry, and dairy for three schools, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; the contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division posted an Invitation to Negotiate in October 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025, requiring a qualified vendor to provide diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Marion Health Care Coalition issued a produce proposal solicitation in August 2026 due August 21, 2026 for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery for the 2026-2027 contract period. The State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026.
