UNSPSC 50434400: Dried organic leeks

The type of organic vegetable known as organic leeks that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434400 Dried organic leeks, a Class code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The recent opportunities tagged to this code address broad food service procurement — fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria staples, and grocery items for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care settings — but none of the sampled solicitations specify dried organic leeks as a line item. The source material shows general food commodity and fresh produce buys that fall several tiers above leek-specific procurement; the code's narrow commodity focus diverges sharply from the category-level and multi-item supply contracts state and local governments are currently pursuing under this classification.

State and local buying bodies tagging opportunities to this code span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County in Georgia and Missouri), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), municipal child care programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with recent solicitations in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting approximately 42,500 to 127,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans via ITB (responses due June 19, 2026 and March 20, 2026 respectively), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice seeking approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products via IFB 304T-26-300CF (extended to May 4, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools issuing a Master Grocery K-12 term contract via IFB 2000004323 serving 45 schools plus distribution centers (due April 27, 2026). School nutrition procurement dominates recent activity, with Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System each soliciting fresh produce on annual contracts with responses due between February and May 2026. The code's tagging appears to reflect data-entry error or over-broad classification rather than actual procurement demand for dried organic leeks at the commodity level.
