The variety of organic leeks known as organic bleu de solaise leeks which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50494303, Organic bleu de solaise leek purees, is a Commodity code that represents a narrow food-service product line, but state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying broad consumable food inventories—fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared items—for institutional dining, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, state correctional agencies, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and county senior services programs. Food service procurement under this code spans protein, dairy, produce, condiments, baking supplies, and disposable food-service materials such as containers, napkins, and gloves, typically bundled into large multi-line-item competitive solicitations with delivery to institutional cafeterias and distribution centers.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods and supplemental food products at state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, with response deadlines in August and June 2026 and historical contract values around $1.5 million annually; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas statewide with a May 4, 2026 response deadline. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case and Oregon-fabricated or resident-bidder preferences available. In Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools each posted school nutrition food bids with response deadlines in June 2026 and multi-school delivery requirements. The Illinois state procurement system also shows weekly food supply activity under IVHQ quarterly solicitations. Vendor qualifications typically require three years of verifiable references, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1 million, HACCP plans where applicable, E-Verify compliance, and debarment certifications; Buy American Act compliance and Child Nutrition meal-pattern adherence apply to school district procurements.
