UNSPSC 50614401: Canned or jarred Non GMO autumn giant-cobra leeks

The variety of Non GMO leeks known as Non GMO autumn giant-cobra leeks that have been canned or jarred 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 50614401 Canned or jarred Non GMO autumn giant-cobra leeks is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its specific product scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of the named product; instead, they represent broad food supply solicitations for institutional cafeterias, food service programs, and school nutrition operations. State and local governments use this code nominally but the actual buy patterns show demand for shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables, proteins, condiments, bread, dairy, frozen items, and consumable food service supplies—ranging from single-line-item buys of specific canned goods to comprehensive multi-hundred-line-item food service contracts. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Oregon DOC), state departments of education and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and state correctional agencies (Texas TDCJ). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple solicitations for food and consumables across state supported living centers and state hospitals.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas HHSC has posted at least three separate IFBs since May 2026, including a supplemental food and consumables procurement with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026), a consumables order for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (HHS0018082, IFB due October 23, 2026), and a food and consumables bid for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, IFB due July 13, 2026). Georgia school districts and Gwinnett County have solicited food bids in May and June 2026 (Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271, June 15, 2026; Burke County Public Schools sealed bid, June 5, 2026; Gwinnett County informal written quote PE77023NONST2027000000782, October 19, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections procured canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case in a June 2026 bid (S2910000017145, approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026). The code shows activity but vendors pursuing it should recognize that recent opportunities do not specifically target the UNSPSC product name; success depends on meeting institutional food service specifications across diverse product lines rather than supplying the named commodity.
