UNSPSC 50464400: Canned or jarred leeks

The type of vegetable known as leeks that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50464400 Canned or jarred leeks, a Class code, captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable preserved vegetables for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned and jarred leeks primarily as line items within larger consumables and food-supply contracts rather than as standalone procurements. The work centers on supplying state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and state hospital kitchens with bulk canned vegetables including leeks, tomatoes, and mixed canned proteins and produce for meal preparation and canteen operations. Issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county social-services and school-nutrition programs (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state departments serving institutional populations. Contracts typically span 12 months with firm fixed pricing and F.O.B. Destination delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order placement.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with additional procurement from Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for consumables serving state supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso, with the El Paso solicitation (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) valued at $1.5 million for the prior contract period and the supplemental food procurement (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026) carrying a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) at $13.75 per case from its previous purchase in February 2026, with 5 percent Oregon-preference weighting applied. In Georgia, Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools issued an IFB covering multiple food categories with deliveries to four schools (due June 15, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). Activity trends show school districts and state facilities consolidating food procurement into larger annual or quarterly contracts with single or limited vendors rather than category-specific buys, reducing standalone leek opportunities but maintaining steady volume under multi-category consumables codes.
