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 is a Commodity code that describes a specific produce item, but state and local government procurement activity under this code does not align with the frozen vegetable scope. The three most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code involve shelf-stable packaged foods (canned proteins, pasta, sauces, soups), school district meal-service procurement (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, grains, condiments), and senior services food distribution (canned vegetables, rice, jelly, peanut butter). None of these opportunities specifically solicit frozen non-GMO prelina leeks or frozen vegetables as a line-item commodity. The issuing bodies include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (senior services), the State of Georgia (statewide food supplies procurement), and Early County Board of Education (National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program support). The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its nominal scope.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, with solicitations from Gwinnett County (October 2026), the State of Georgia (May 2026), and Early County Schools (May 2026). Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (due June 8, 2026) emphasized domestic sourcing preferences and whole-grain or low-sodium formulations; Gwinnett County's informal written quote for food items (due October 19, 2026) requested approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026) with full scope in an attached document. None of these opportunities identified frozen non-GMO leeks as a solicited item, suggesting the code assignment may reflect a data-entry or classification error rather than active procurement demand under this commodity definition.
