UNSPSC 50474405: Canned or jarred organic prelina leeks

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

UNSPSC 50474405 Canned or jarred organic prelina leeks is a Commodity code that nominally addresses specialty preserved vegetables, but state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually procuring broad-based food service supplies—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared entrees—for institutional feeding operations including schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers. The code appears misaligned with actual procurement activity; recent opportunities tagged under or near this classification involve large-scale food distribution contracts where canned and jarred vegetables represent a minor line item within hundreds of products rather than a primary focus. Issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Douglas County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County Schools in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois Veterans Home, State of Georgia), and county school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia). State hospitals and correctional facilities also bid for consolidated food and consumables through their central procurement divisions.

Recent opportunities cluster in school nutrition procurement across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Virginia, and Oregon, with activity spanning May through June 2026. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due Jul 13, 2026), offering potential for a one-year contract at approximately $1.5 million in annual historical spending; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with the previous purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest; the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due Apr 27, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined across two geographic areas (due Mar 4, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools' food bid (due Jun 15, 2026) emphasizes Buy American compliance and requires debarment and lobbying certifications for bids exceeding $25,000 and $100,000 respectively. Competitive activity is heavy across the South and Pacific Northwest, driven by school district annual contract cycles and state institutional feeding operations with consolidated procurement timelines.
