UNSPSC 50624301: Non GMO autumn giant-cobra leek purees

The variety of Non GMO leeks known as Non GMO autumn giant-cobra leeks. 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 50624301, Non GMO autumn giant-cobra leek purees, is a Commodity code that nominally addresses specialized vegetable products. Recent state and local solicitations show little procurement aligned with this code's narrow specification — the opportunities posted under it describe broad food service and school nutrition programs spanning proteins, dairy, produce, condiments, and supplies rather than leek purees specifically. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, school districts, and county nutrition programs. Work actually being solicited encompasses cafeteria and institutional food supply contracts for state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services, with vendors supplying hundreds of line items across protein, dairy, frozen, canned, and fresh categories under fixed-price or quarterly renewable agreements.

The geographic spread covers Texas (multiple Health and Human Services Commission solicitations for state-supported living centers and state hospital systems), Georgia (school districts in Burke County and Ben Hill County, plus county-level nutrition programs in Gwinnett County), and Oregon (Department of Corrections canned-tomato procurement and a potato variety solicitation). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (October 23, 2026 due date) for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center with 22 line items including prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (October 19, 2026 due date) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables; and Burke County Public Schools' sealed-bid procurement (June 5, 2026 due date) for nearly 400 line items spanning fresh proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy, and dry goods across five school locations. The code shows considerable procurement activity, though the specificity of the UNSPSC category name does not reflect the breadth of institutional food service work actually being bought.
