UNSPSC 50454405: Frozen organic prelina leeks

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

UNSPSC 50454405 Frozen organic prelina leeks is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a single frozen vegetable product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect procurement of prelina leeks specifically. Instead, the code appears in school district and state agency food-service solicitations that encompass broad frozen and fresh produce categories, dairy, grains, proteins, and ancillary food items for child nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Dallas Independent School District) along with state purchasing entities (State of Georgia for general food supplies and fresh produce). School districts dominate the recent activity, soliciting annual contracts to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations across multiple school sites. Scope includes line-by-line bids for hundreds of food items organized by category—meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments, frozen and fresh produce, snacks, and beverages—alongside non-food supplies such as disposables, cleaning products, and janitorial equipment. Districts uniformly require HACCP plan compliance, food recall procedures, Buy American provisions, $1,000,000 minimum general liability insurance, E-Verify authorization, and firm pricing with limited escalation allowances (typically 3–10% threshold) supported by third-party cost documentation.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (State of Georgia, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and extends into Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County) and Texas (Dallas Independent School District). Recent representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 for July 2026–June 2027 service across three schools with domestic sourcing and whole-grain preferences; City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026, covering ten school sites with frozen-product specifications and quarterly price-adjustment provisions; Rockwood School District's grocery items procurement due April 29, 2026, soliciting over 900 line items via NUTRIKIDS electronic bidding; and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products due April 2, 2026, requiring compliance with Texas Legislative Bill #314 ingredient restrictions and M/WBE program participation. The Douglas County School System coordinated two complementary solicitations—one for fresh produce and eggs (RFP due March 4, 2026, approximately $5.5 million combined estimated spend across 30 districts via GEC Buying Cooperative) and one for food supply and distribution services (RFP due February 18, 2026, approximately $9 million annual expenditure). Contract periods uniformly run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options; all pricing includes transportation and excludes federal excise and state sales tax.
