The variety of leeks known as wild leek ramp

UNSPSC 50404406 Wild leek ramp is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh produce items—including not only ramps but also a broad array of vegetables and fruits—procured by state and local food service operations, institutional kitchens, school districts, and corrections departments.

Scope spans fresh vegetables (carrots, potatoes, onions, peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli), fresh fruits (apples, bananas, oranges, strawberries), and processed or ready-to-eat produce items packaged for meal service.
