UNSPSC 50424401: Dried autumn giant-cobra leeks

The variety of leeks known as autumn giant-cobra leeks that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424401 Dried autumn giant-cobra leeks is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not reflect the actual institutional food procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities show state agencies, correctional facilities, and local educational institutions soliciting dried beans (kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans) for bulk institutional cooking and meal service, not dried leeks. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the City of Edinburg, Texas, have all posted bids for dried legumes in quantities ranging from 880 bags to approximately 42,500 pounds, with specifications emphasizing USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning for contaminant removal, and compliance with FDA and HACCP requirements. The mismatch between the code's nominal name and the actual scope of recent opportunities suggests either a coding error in the procurement registry or significant divergence between UNSPSC taxonomy and state and local classification practice in this commodity family.

State procurement activity under this code appears concentrated in Georgia and Oregon, with recent solicitations from the Oregon Department of Corrections (bids due June 19, 2026 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, FOB destination Salem, Oregon), Georgia Correctional Industries (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, bids due October 9, 2026 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments), and the State of Oregon (bids due August 21, 2026 for triple-cleaned dried black beans). The City of Edinburg, Texas, also posted an RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service covering beverages, paper goods, food products including legumes, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for approximately 400 children daily. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued an IFB (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution points, spanning proteins, grains, dairy, and miscellaneous staples. If pursuing this code, verify the correct UNSPSC classification with the issuing jurisdiction before bid preparation, as the taxonomy appears misaligned with actual procurement intent.
