UNSPSC 50594401: Dried Non GMO autumn giant-cobra leeks

The variety of Non GMO leeks known as Non GMO autumn giant-cobra leeks that have 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 50594401 Dried Non-GMO Autumn Giant-Cobra Leeks, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty dried vegetables—does not match the actual purchases documented in the recent-opportunities block, which span comprehensive school nutrition programs (grocery items, fresh produce, eggs, meal preparation and delivery), institutional food service for state-supported living centers and senior meal programs, and city meal delivery for official events. None of the recent solicitations identify dried leeks or specialty dried vegetables as line items or procurement needs.

School districts and county boards of education represent the dominant issuing bodies in this dataset, with representative procurements including Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026); and Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due February 18, 2026, with estimated annual value $9 million). Additional institutional buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state-supported living center food and consumables IFB HHS0017449, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (senior meal preparation and delivery ITB, estimated three-year value $17.8 million); and the City of Dallas (boxed and bulk meal delivery RFCSP, five-year term). Activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Texas, Connecticut, Virginia, and Mississippi. The code warrants monitoring only if future solicitations introduce dried specialty vegetables or legumes as discrete line items in school nutrition or institutional food service contracts; no current pipeline supports active pursuit.
