UNSPSC 50584306: Non GMO wild leek ramp

The variety of Non GMO leeks known as Non GMO wild leek ramp. 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 50584306 Non GMO wild leek ramp is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, encompasses fresh produce procurement across food service operations serving parks, healthcare facilities, schools, and state institutions. The code shows application in competitive bidding for fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty produce items supplied to multiple venues and end users, though recent postings reveal that state and local buyers typically solicit produce as part of broader food-service packages rather than as a standalone specialty item. Issuing bodies include county park authorities, healthcare coalitions, state purchasing offices, and school districts sourcing produce to support National School Lunch Programs, school breakfast programs, and general food service operations. The scope involves compliance with food safety regulations, USDA sourcing preferences, cold-chain management standards, and seasonal pricing adjustments.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Florida, with the most recent solicitation from Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posting June 8, 2026 for line-by-line bids on 300+ food items including fresh vegetables and fruits for three schools across the 2026–2027 school year under the National School Lunch Program. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, with proposals due March 6, 2025, requiring diverse fresh produce and beverage options across concession facilities and the Sun N Fun Water Park; the county applies a 10-point local-vendor preference. Marion Health Care Coalition (posted August 7, 2026, due August 21, 2026) sought qualified produce vendors for 2026–2027 operations. The State of Georgia also posted a general food supplies procurement on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026. School districts dominate the recent opportunity set, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, though specialty or non-GMO designation does not appear as an explicit line item in the posted summaries.
