UNSPSC 50484404: Cortina leek purees

The variety of leeks known as cortina leeks which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484404 Cortina leek purees is a Commodity code that reflects state and local government procurement of prepared vegetable products and food service supplies for institutional feeding operations, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct solicitation activity for this specific item. The code's actual buying pattern centers on comprehensive food procurement for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services departments, where leek purees would appear as line items within much larger consumables solicitations rather than as standalone purchases. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities (state-supported living centers), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state corrections and criminal justice systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and specialized state agencies (Illinois Department of Human Services, State of Georgia). Texas agencies dominate recent activity, with three separate HHS Commission solicitations for state-supported living centers and one TDCJ facility procurement visible in the past four months.

Recent representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), which encompassed 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with estimated annual deliveries of 1 to 24 cases per item; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and sauces (due October 19, 2026); and the Ben Hill County Schools food bid for multiple produce, meat, dairy, and condiment categories across four school locations (due June 15, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato procurement, June 2026) and Illinois. Most opportunities are competitively bid through IFB or IWQ processes with response windows of 7 to 30 days; delivery is typically F.O.B. Destination within 7 to 72 hours of order receipt, and vendors must meet USDA grade standards, provide multiple references, and comply with E-Verify and debarment certifications. Contract values range from small single-item purchases to multi-million-dollar annual institutional food service agreements, with Texas HHS Commission's supplemental food procurement reaching $4.5 million over three years.
