UNSPSC 50454404: Frozen organic cortina leeks

The variety of organic leeks known as organic cortina leeks that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50454404 Frozen organic cortina leeks (Commodity) does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent solicitations filed under this code span broad food procurement for school nutrition programs and state operations—fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, dairy, eggs, and ancillary food service supplies—rather than a single frozen vegetable product. The issuing bodies are school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System) and state agencies (State of Georgia). The code appears to serve as a catch-all classification for diverse food items procured through school nutrition and state food service channels, with IFB and RFP notice types predominating and contract periods typically running July 1 through June 30 with renewal options. Delivery specifications across all opportunities emphasize temperature control, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, food recall procedures, and E-Verify authorization.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia (State of Georgia IFB for fresh produce and food supplies, City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce bid, and Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million by region) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items for child nutrition services with 900+ line items and over 6,900 daily lunch participants), alongside activity in Texas (Dallas Independent School District RFP for various food products for the 2026-2027 school year through May 28, 2027).
