UNSPSC 50604405: Frozen Non GMO prelina leeks

The variety of Non GMO leeks known as Non GMO prelina leeks that have been frozen 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 50604405 Frozen Non-GMO Prelina Leeks (Commodity) nominally describes a single frozen vegetable product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little activity specifically for frozen prelina leeks; instead, they reflect broad school nutrition and institutional food procurement encompassing fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, and other meal-service supplies. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Dallas Independent School District, along with state procurement offices in Georgia. The actual work being solicited comprises line-item bids for commodity food service—fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees delivered to school sites or central warehouses, typically with strict specifications for whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, HACCP plans, food-recall procedures, and Buy American compliance. Contracts run standard school-year terms (July 1 through June 30) with renewal options, and vendors must carry general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), comply with E-Verify and federal debarment certification, and accept firm pricing with limited escalation provisions tied to documented market indices.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with the Douglas County School System (Georgia) leading two major procurements: a fresh-produce-and-eggs RFP for 30 districts totaling approximately $5.5 million annually and a food-supply-and-distribution RFP for approximately $9 million annually, both due in early 2026. The City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026, with a virtual pre-bid conference scheduled April 29, 2026. Savannah-Chatham County Public School System posted a fresh-produce bid (72 line items, estimated 21,125 cases of Fuji apples alone) due April 23, 2026. Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products (including spice and ice cream lots) closed April 2, 2026, with awards covering the 2026-2027 school year. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items (900+ line items) with electronic submissions due April 29, 2026 through the NUTRIKIDS system. The code shows active school-nutrition procurement but minimal specificity to frozen prelina leeks as a distinct commodity line.
