UNSPSC 50594402: Dried Non GMO autumn mammoth 2 leeks

The variety of Non GMO leeks known as Non GMO autumn mammoth 2 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 50594402 Dried Non GMO autumn mammoth 2 leeks is a Commodity code that nominally names a single dried-vegetable product line, but the recent opportunities solicited under this code show little activity aligned with that specific item. The six most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code span broad food procurement categories — groceries for school nutrition programs, fresh produce for school lunch service, senior meal preparation and delivery, state institutional food service, and packaged meal boxes for summer feeding programs. None of the opportunities explicitly reference dried leeks, and the scope of work being purchased is substantially broader than the code's nominal product. This mismatch suggests either miscoding in the issuing bodies' systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for food-service commodity categories rather than a precise product-level classifier. State and local buyers — school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia) — are actively procuring food and food-related consumables, but the specific product named in the code does not appear in the actual RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in the Southeast and are solicited primarily through IFBs and ITBs. Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026) in Georgia; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sought grocery items including vegetables, fruits, and meat products for the Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut (due June 30, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services across 25 dining and service locations, valued at $17.8 million over three years (due June 25, 2026); and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi solicited packaged meal boxes for the Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program (due April 29, 2026). The State of Georgia also posted a food and kitchen products solicitation in May 2026 (due June 22, 2026). If pursuing this code, verify the correct UNSPSC assignment with your target buyer before bid preparation, as the mismatch between the code's nominal product and actual procurement scope creates misalignment risk.
