UNSPSC 50414506: Organic mizuna lettuce

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic mizuna lettuce

UNSPSC 50414506 Organic mizuna lettuce is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not currently solicit this code—no recent opportunities for organic mizuna lettuce procurement appear in the dataset. The recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code actually comprises broad food and produce procurement for school nutrition programs and institutional food service, spanning fresh produce categories (apples, bananas, peppers, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, tomatoes, eggs), specialty produce items (berries, citrus, stone fruits), and related grocery and beverage items. The code as nominally defined does not align with the actual scope of solicitations; the opportunities reflect multi-item institutional food service contracts rather than purchases of a single fresh produce variety.
