UNSPSC 50424405: Dried prelina leeks

The variety of leeks known as prelina leeks that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424405 Dried prelina leeks, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitations posted under this classification. The most recent opportunities — kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and mixed cafeteria food products — indicate that the code is being applied to dried legumes and institutional food procurement more broadly, not to dried leeks specifically. State and local governments use this code tier to procure bulk dried beans and legume products for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agency food service operations, but the actual commodity being purchased diverges substantially from the code's nominal scope.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections), state agencies (State of Georgia, State of Illinois), school districts and municipal meal programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of criminal justice systems (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Recent opportunities span Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Representative solicitations 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 at 9:00 a.m. PST, with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation weight and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound), Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (due October 9, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products including beans and other staple items across five TDCJ warehouse regions (response deadline extended via addendum to May 4, 2026). The code shows active recent procurement activity, but the mismatch between the stated commodity and actual buying patterns suggests reconsideration of the classification's accuracy in state and local procurement systems.
