UNSPSC 50484400: Leek purees

The type of vegetable known as leeks which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484400 Leek purees is a Class code that does not reflect the actual state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span broad food-service categories — proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, prepared entrees, and consumable supplies — rather than leek purees specifically. School districts, state correctional agencies, state health and human services departments, and state institutional facilities are the primary buyers, with Georgia and Texas jurisdictions appearing most frequently in recent solicitations. No opportunity in the source block addresses leek purees as a discrete product line; the code shows significant misalignment between its nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually purchasing under it.

State institutional food service dominates recent activity. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 11, 2026) for food and consumable products at a state-supported living center, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. The Texas Comptroller, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, solicited cafeteria food products under IFB 304T26300CF (response deadline extended to May 4, 2026) across five geographic warehouse areas for approximately $9 million in estimated annual volume. School nutrition programs represent the second major category: Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia solicited nearly 400 food line items (sealed bids June 5, 2026); and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri issued separate grocery and Net Off Invoice bids (both due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items with estimated quantities from minimal to over 500 cases per item. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division posted recurring canned-tomato and tomato-paste bids (S2910000016405 and S2910000016089, respectively) with 5 percent preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-resident bidders. The State of Illinois issued RFQs for quarterly food orders through the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy (FY-27 quarterly bid 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026). School districts in Georgia — Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County — each solicited fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive food supply contracts under RFPs and IFBs with response deadlines spanning late March through late June 2026. This code shows active procurement volume but carries taxonomic mislabeling that procurement professionals should disregard when evaluating actual buyer intent and category scope.
