UNSPSC 50454400: Frozen organic leeks

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

UNSPSC 50454400 Frozen organic leeks is a Class code that captures shelf-stable and fresh food procurement by state and local jurisdictions, though recent solicitation activity shows the code is being applied broadly to encompass general food-service purchasing for schools, senior services, and state operations rather than specifically to frozen organic leeks. State and local governments use this code family to source staple food items—including canned proteins, vegetables, grains, pasta, sauces, meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, and bread products—for institutional feeding programs. Issuing bodies span county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school district boards of education (Early County Board of Education), with school districts and county senior-services programs appearing as repeat buyers for multi-item food service contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where Gwinnett County posted an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables) for the Department of Community Services with quotes due October 19, 2026; the State of Georgia issued a broader bids solicitation in May 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products; and Early County Board of Education released a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 covering 300+ food items plus non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026 and contract performance through June 30, 2027. Delivery requirements typically specify F.O.B. destination with narrow windows (Monday–Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.) and emphasis on domestic sourcing, USDA compliance, temperature control for dairy, and adherence to Buy American provisions in school contexts.
