UNSPSC 50474404: Canned or jarred organic cortina leeks

The variety of organic leeks known as organic cortina leeks that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50474404 Canned or jarred organic cortina leeks is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty canned and jarred vegetable products for food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code is minimal and does not directly address the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code and related UNSPSC categories show that state and local governments buy canned and jarred vegetables—including canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and broader food service staples—primarily for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and veterans' homes. Issuing bodies include state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county and municipal school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), and specialized public institutions. School districts dominate the procurement activity, with multiple districts issuing overlapping annual food service solicitations, followed by state correctional and health-care facilities with statewide sourcing mandates.

Geographic concentration spans Texas (HHSC statewide, TDCJ, Comptroller), Georgia (multiple school districts including Ben Hill, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham), Illinois (Veterans Home Quincy), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Virginia (Fairfax County). The code shows activity across all regions, with particular density in the Southeast and South. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' February 2026 ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due February 9, 2026) and subsequent June 2026 canned tomato bid (due June 19, 2026) with prior pricing of $14.30 to $13.75 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually; and multiple school district food service RFPs and IFBs spanning spring through summer 2026, such as Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for quarterly weekly food orders (due June 26, 2026) and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (due April 27, 2026) serving 45 schools. These solicitations are issued as RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs with firm fixed-price structures, delivery requirements to multiple school or facility locations, Buy American compliance mandates, and contract terms typically running July through June aligned with school fiscal years.
