UNSPSC 50474400: Canned or jarred organic leeks

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

UNSPSC 50474400 Canned or jarred organic leeks is a Class code that covers shelf-stable packaged vegetables procured by state and local institutions for food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this code does not isolate canned organic leeks as a distinct line item. Instead, state and local governments buy canned or jarred organic leeks as part of broader food supply contracts for institutional cafeterias, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services centers. The work consists of supplying individual cases of canned or jarred vegetables to meet USDA grade and shelf-life requirements, with delivery to centralized distribution points or individual facility locations within specified timeframes (typically 30 to 72 hours of order receipt). Issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, county boards of commissioners, city and county school districts, and special food service authorities. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and several Georgia school districts appear as active buyers in recent notices.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. The Texas HHS Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0016792V2 (due March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) and for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026), both covering 20 to 35 line items of shelf-stable and prepared foods with annual usage quantities ranging from 1 to 24 cases per item and delivery within seven days of order. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case) with 5 percent Oregon-fabrication and resident-bidder preferences. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026) for delivery to senior services. School districts in Ben Hill County (Georgia), Burke County (Georgia), and Texas TDCJ also issued food procurement notices covering canned vegetables as line items within broader cafeteria and institutional food supply contracts.
