UNSPSC 50454401: Frozen organic autumn giant-cobra leeks

The variety of organic leeks known as organic autumn giant-cobra leeks that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50454401 Frozen organic autumn giant-cobra leeks is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional feeding programs, senior services, and school nutrition. Recent solicitations show that this code captures broad food procurement across multiple item categories—including canned proteins, vegetables, dairy, grains, bread, and fluid milk—rather than the narrow product line the code name suggests. Issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). These entities typically solicit food for Department of Community Services nutrition programs, statewide institutional feeding, and National School Lunch Program / School Breakfast Program operations. Solicitations emphasize delivery logistics, food safety compliance (HACCP plans, USDA specifications, temperature control for milk), Buy American provisions, and vendor qualifications including insurance, E-Verify compliance, debarment verification, and references for similar projects.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with multiple opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 (RFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items, due October 19, 2026), the State of Georgia's food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid covering 300+ food items plus non-food and paper supplies for school nutrition programs (bids due June 8, 2026). Delivery windows are tight—Gwinnett County requires delivery within 72 hours of order and all items received by December 7, 2026; Early County requires Monday through Friday 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. delivery windows with milk held at 33°F to 40°F and rotated by sell-by date. Awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on unit-of-measure pricing, with school districts reserving options to extend or renew annually and to allow other districts to piggyback on identical terms.
