UNSPSC 50424403: Dried bleu de solaise leeks

The variety of leeks known as bleu de solaise leeks that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424403 Dried bleu de solaise leeks is a Commodity code that in practice sees state and local procurement activity focused on dried legumes and bulk institutional food products rather than the specific leek variety the code nominally describes. Recent solicitations show state correctional agencies, school districts, and state departments procuring dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans—in large institutional quantities, typically 880-bag increments or tens of thousands of pounds, for meal preparation in prison kitchens, correctional facilities, and child-care food programs. The issuing bodies are primarily state corrections departments and state purchasing offices acting on behalf of institutional food services, along with municipal governments operating child-care programs.

Activity centers in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with recent bids posted by the Georgia Department of Corrections, the State of Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the City of Edinburg, Texas. Representative recent solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries' request for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026 (IFB 92100ERFQ0020612027); the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, triple-cleaned, due June 19, 2026 (IFB S2910000017705), offering a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's procurement of cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations due May 4, 2026 (IFB 304T26300CF), extended via addendum from April 21. Pricing in these procurements is typically all-inclusive and FOB destination, with delivery in bulk palletized quantities and compliance with USDA grading, FDA food-safety, and institutional meal-service standards required.
