UNSPSC 50424400: Dried leeks

The type of vegetable known as leeks that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424400 Dried leeks, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source records show six recent opportunities, none of which solicit dried leeks; instead, they request kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, general food supplies for correctional and child-care programs, and cafeteria food products. State and local governments use this code nominally for dried legumes and institutional food procurement, but the recent solicitations span dried beans of various types, bulk food supply fulfillment for correctional facilities and schools, and mixed food-and-nonfood items for meal programs. The issuing bodies include the Georgia Department of Corrections, the City of Edinburg (Texas), the State of Oregon, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Oregon Department of Corrections — a mix of state departments, municipal entities, and correctional agencies buying in bulk for institutional meal service.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (bids due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers), the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations spanning 382 line items with responses due May 4, 2026, and the City of Edinburg's August 2026 RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies serving approximately 400 children daily with a Texas local-vendor preference (bids due August 4, 2026). The Georgia Department of Corrections and State of Georgia have also posted solicitations for dried beans and mixed food supplies in the same window. The code shows active procurement volume but minimal recent activity directly matching its nominal scope of dried leeks; buyers appear to be tagging legume and food-supply acquisitions broadly under this classification.
