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, a Commodity code, does not reflect the food-procurement activity currently being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass general food-service purchasing for school lunch programs, senior services, and institutional meal operations — including shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, dairy, grains, bread, and fluid milk — rather than the specialized fresh or frozen produce item the code nominally describes. State and local buyers are using this code to solicit broad-based food provisioning across multiple product categories and vendors, not procurement of a single produce line.

The issuing bodies include county governments and school districts, with recent activity in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, with delivery required by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a bid in May 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 covering 300+ food items and non-food supplies for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, due June 8, 2026, with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests limited applicability of this Commodity code for vendors focused on frozen specialty produce.
