UNSPSC 50424406: Dried wild leek ramp

The variety of leeks known as wild leek ramp that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424406 Dried wild leek ramp is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — procurement of foraged wild leeks — does not align with the state and local opportunities recently posted under it. The recent solicitations actually tagged to this code procure dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans) and broader institutional food supplies for correctional facilities, state agencies, school districts, and child care programs. State and local governments use this code to buy bulk dried legumes and packaged food products for institutional meal service, including prison cafeterias, agency distribution centers, and child care meal programs governed by CACFP and state nutritional standards. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and agriculture, state purchasing divisions on behalf of multi-facility systems, city governments operating child care programs, and state agency procurement offices. The work being solicited involves specification-driven commodity purchasing with rigid USDA grading standards, food-safety compliance requirements (FDA, HACCP, Good Manufacturing Practice), and bulk delivery logistics tied to institutional kitchen operations.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered bidders and FOB delivery to the ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem within 45 days; the historical purchase price was $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. Georgia Correctional Industries requested bids for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, with electronic submission required and an issuing officer restriction on vendor communication. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies (beverages, paper goods, proteins, vegetables, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items) serving approximately 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference applying to bidders within 5% of the lowest price under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051; proposals were due August 4, 2026. The State of Oregon posted a separate bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of triple-cleaned dried black beans due August 21, 2026, intended for institutional use. No formal recent activity maps cleanly to dried wild leeks specifically; the code appears to serve as a catch-all for state and local dried-legume and institutional food-supply procurement.
