UNSPSC 50414304: Organic cortina leeks

The variety of organic leeks known as organic cortina leeks

UNSPSC 50414304 Organic cortina leeks is a Commodity code. State and local procurement under this code captures fresh produce supply for child nutrition, institutional food service, and farm-to-school initiatives. Recent activity shows school districts and school nutrition programs are the primary buyers, soliciting fresh produce—often across broad baskets of fruits, vegetables, and related items—rather than cortina leeks specifically. The code appears as a catch-all taxonomy tag in produce procurement rather than reflecting demand for this particular variety. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, spanning elementary through high school campuses and including specialized nutrition programs such as the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. State agencies (Georgia and Texas departments) occasionally solicit produce as well. Vendors are typically expected to deliver weekly or twice-weekly to multiple school sites, maintain HACCP certification and food safety documentation, comply with Buy American provisions and federal civil rights requirements, and carry liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million depending on contract size.

Recent solicitations span the Southeast and Texas, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts. Representative opportunities include the Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 127 campuses (due May 7, 2026), the Bulloch County School District (Georgia) Invitation for Proposal for locally-grown produce within 200 miles of the county (due May 4, 2026), and the Douglas County School System cooperative procurement (Georgia GEC Buying Cooperative) spanning 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million (proposals due March 4, 2026). Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) solicited fresh produce for its USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at approximately 18 elementary schools (estimated annual budget $600,000, proposals due March 11, 2026). The code shows active procurement across school nutrition services but does not surface specialized demand for cortina leeks as a distinct line item in available solicitations.
