UNSPSC 50414508: Organic red oak leaf lettuce

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic red oak leaf lettuce

UNSPSC 50414508 Organic red oak leaf lettuce is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce sourcing — in this case, lettuce and related leafy vegetables — that state and local governments procure for food service operations. The recent opportunities show that purchasing entities treat this code as part of broader produce and food-supply solicitations rather than as a line item for organic red oak leaf lettuce specifically. State and local buyers under this code include county parks departments seeking food-service vendors for concession operations, health care coalitions procuring fresh fruits and vegetables for institutional meal programs, state procurement offices managing general food supplies, and school districts acquiring produce and related food items to support federal nutrition programs. The scope spans fresh produce delivery meeting quality standards, food-safety compliance, and seasonal availability adjustments, with vendors typically required to manage their own logistics, maintain temperature controls, and rotate stock according to shelf-life requirements.

Recent activity shows procurement spread across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026, for North Collier Regional Park Food Services with a response date of March 6, 2025, seeking a qualified food vendor to provide diverse food and beverage options including produce across multiple park venues; the County applied a 10-point local-vendor preference for businesses meeting Collier or Lee County residency criteria. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals posted August 7, 2026, due August 21, 2026, for the 2026-2027 contract period. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line bid on May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. The State of Georgia requested bids on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, for food, supplies, and other kitchen products. Geographic activity includes Florida (Collier County), Georgia (state procurement and Early County Schools), and unspecified locations for Marion Health Care Coalition.
