UNSPSC 50414501: Organic bibb lettuce

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic bibb lettuce

UNSPSC 50414501 Organic bibb lettuce is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local public bodies, including specialized fresh vegetables and leafy greens supplied to food-service operations at parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and other institutional venues. State and local purchasing offices use this code to solicit produce from vendors meeting quality, food-safety, and delivery standards. The issuing bodies include county parks and recreation departments, school districts operating national-lunch and breakfast programs, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. Vendors typically supply produce as part of broader food-service concessions, institutional meal programs, or standalone fresh-produce contracts. Most opportunities require compliance with USDA sourcing preferences, food-safety protocols, temperature control, and delivery schedules to multiple sites or consolidated receiving points.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with recent solicitations posted by Collier County (Florida) for park concessions, Marion Health Care Coalition (Marion County, Florida area) for healthcare institutional produce, the State of Georgia for statewide food procurement, and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) for school meals. Collier County's North Collier Regional Park Food Services ITN (posted October 8, 2026, due March 6, 2025) seeks a qualified food vendor to supply diverse food and beverage options across multiple park venues, with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points and evaluation criteria emphasizing menu variety, food safety compliance, and operational planning. Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) solicits approximately 300+ food items including meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, and fruits, plus 60 non-food supplies, for delivery Monday through Friday to three schools across the contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
