I think providing access to the whole LC organization code list would
be overkill unless you're using a Koha database as part of your
workflow to do contract cataloging for a bunch of libraries.

What might be useful for a consortium would be allowing more than one
value for MarcOrgCode.  In fact, that's already the topic of bug 10132
(MarcOrgCode would be useful on branch level). [1]
