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 that shows no meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The single opportunity tagged to this code—the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP Meal Program RFP due August 4, 2026—explicitly requests milk, juice, paper goods, proteins, breads, vegetables, snacks, janitorial supplies, and storage items; dried wild leek ramps do not appear in the scope of work or line-item detail. The mismatch suggests administrative tagging error rather than active procurement demand for this specialty produce item.

The recent opportunities block instead reflects heavy state and local buying activity in mainstream food supply for institutional feeding programs—school nutrition, corrections facilities, child care, and general grocery distribution. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Corrections, Texas Criminal Justice, Illinois, Georgia), school districts (Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), and municipal agencies (City of Edinburg). Representative solicitations include the Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ's Cafeteria Food Products IFB due May 4, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB due April 27, 2026; and Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution RFP due February 18, 2026, with estimated annual spend of $9 million. Procurement spans the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Florida), Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with school districts and state correctional agencies accounting for the majority of visible volume. Buyers are moving toward fixed-price, firm-for-contract term agreements with preferred-brand and equal-or-equivalent specification models, FOB destination delivery to multiple sites, and line-item or vendor-category awards. The code itself does not capture the actual buying pattern occurring under related commodity and family codes covering fresh produce, dried goods, proteins, and institutional grocery supply.
