UNSPSC 50444406: Frozen wild leek ramp

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

UNSPSC 50444406 Frozen wild leek ramp is a Commodity code that does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity; the opportunities tagged under this code actually solicit frozen corn, frozen potatoes, mixed vegetables, carrots, and other commodity vegetables — none of which include wild leeks or ramps — alongside broader grocery and food service procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being bought suggests either tagging errors in the source data or that 50444406 sits within a broader family code that captures diverse frozen vegetable lines. State and local issuing bodies soliciting frozen vegetables include departments of corrections (Oregon ODOC, Texas TDCJ), school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools, City of Decatur, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Bulloch County Schools, and others), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), county correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), and city board of education procurement offices. These buyers post ITBs, IFBs, and RFPs with response windows ranging from two to six weeks, frequently applying state-vendor preferences (Oregon's ten-percent combined preference for in-state fabrication and resident headquarters) and Buy American provisions requiring at least fifty-one percent domestic agricultural content.

Recent frozen vegetable solicitations center on institutional food service — the Oregon Department of Corrections sought forty thousand pounds of frozen sweet corn (ITB S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026) at prior pricing of $0.498 per pound, and one hundred twenty thousand pounds of frozen potatoes in french fries, wedges, and tater tots (ITB S2910000017439, due July 24, 2026) at prior unit pricing of $0.3811 per pound. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas have posted comprehensive food procurements including frozen vegetables as line items within larger grocery bids — Dallas ISD (RFP JC250079, due April 2, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and Bulloch County Schools (IFB #043025, due May 4, 2026) — all requiring FOB destination delivery with transportation prepaid and firm pricing for initial contract periods. The code sees activity primarily across the South and Pacific Northwest (Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, Oregon), with secondary activity in Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Frozen vegetable suppliers should track state correctional facilities and school district nutrition program RFP cycles, which typically align with fiscal-year contract starts in July and respond to multi-unit delivery schedules with reference pricing tied to recent commodity market data.
