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, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single vegetable variety with non-GMO specification, but state and local school districts and county governments soliciting fresh produce are buying broad commodity baskets—typically 60 to 72 produce line items spanning fruits, vegetables, eggs, and specialty items—rather than single-SKU specialty vegetables. Recent solicitations emphasize apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, and citrus, with only occasional reference to leafy greens or specialty vegetables. No recent solicitation names prelina leeks or any leek variety.

Activity is concentrated in school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, driven by USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable requirements and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative in February 2026 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts statewide with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) solicited specialty fruits and vegetables for its Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program in April 2026 with a $600,000 annual budget; and Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) requested fresh produce for child nutrition through RFP 2026-048 in April 2026. The Muscogee County School District (Georgia) and Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) also posted similar procurements in March and April 2026. Because state and local procurement offices aggregate produce purchasing across multiple line items rather than sourcing individual vegetables on specialized UNSPSC commodity codes, UNSPSC 50584305 does not capture meaningful procurement volume or opportunity in the state and local market.
