UNSPSC 50594400: Dried Non GMO leeks

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO leeks that has been dried for preservation. 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 50594400 Dried Non-GMO leeks, a Class code, does not map to the recent state and local contract opportunities in the source. The five most recent solicitations under this code span grocery items for school lunch programs, food and consumable products for state-supported living centers, fresh produce for school nutrition, senior meal preparation and delivery services, and packaged meal boxes for summer food service — none of which emphasize or specifically reference dried leeks as a line item or primary procurement focus. The source records indicate that state and local food procurement activity under this code centers on bulk fresh and processed grocery staples, produce, prepared meals, and kitchen supplies to support institutional nutrition programs, not specialty dried vegetable commodities. The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia).

Recent opportunities posted between April and June 2026 show activity across Florida, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program with a June 30, 2026 due date and Buy American requirements mandating 51 percent domestic agricultural content; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200-plus line items with a June 26, 2026 deadline; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products for state-supported living centers with a July 13, 2026 due date and a historical annual value of $1.5 million. The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to dried non-GMO leeks as a discrete procurement category within state and local institutional food sourcing.
