UNSPSC 50614402: Canned or jarred Non GMO autumn mammoth 2 leeks

The variety of Non GMO leeks known as Non GMO autumn mammoth 2 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 50614402 Canned or jarred Non GMO autumn mammoth 2 leeks, a Commodity code, does not show recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source records eleven recent opportunities tagged to this code, but none explicitly solicits canned or jarred leeks of any variety. Instead, the opportunities span broad food procurement — institutional food service for state supported living centers, corrections facilities, school districts, and senior services — encompassing dozens of protein, produce, dairy, and consumable line items alongside kitchen supplies. The issuing bodies are a mix of state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). The code appears to be a catch-all tag for commodity-level food procurement rather than a precise marker of leek purchases.

The geographic spread across recent opportunities covers Texas (multiple HHS solicitations for state supported living centers and TDCJ, with response dates in August and October 2026), Georgia (Gwinnett County and two school districts in May and June 2026), Oregon (Department of Corrections in June 2026), and Illinois (single June 2026 food order solicitation). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (due October 19, 2026) including peanut butter, canned proteins, and canned vegetables; and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for a comprehensive school nutrition food bid spanning fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and condiments across four schools (due June 15, 2026). The mismatch between code name and actual procurement scope suggests the code is either misapplied to these opportunities or serves as a broad institutional food classification that does not track individual commodity lines.
