UNSPSC 50414511: Organic butterhead lettuces

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic butterhead lettuces

UNSPSC 50414511 Organic butterhead lettuces, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce supply to state and local food-service operations, including school nutrition programs, county parks concessions, health-care facilities, and institutional dining. State and local governments buy this code primarily through school districts operating National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, county park and recreation departments managing concession operations, health-care coalitions procuring for facility food service, and state purchasing offices coordinating food supplies across agencies. Solicitations emphasize compliance with food-safety regulations, delivery logistics, product freshness guarantees, and seasonal pricing adjustments. School districts often bundle produce with broader food and non-food items in comprehensive line-by-line bids that specify domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. County park concessionaires and health-care vendors are typically required to manage their own sourcing and quality assurance within contracted operational parameters.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Florida, with the state of Georgia posting a general food supplies solicitation in May 2026 covering produce alongside other kitchen products, Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 encompassing 300+ food items including fresh fruits and vegetables for three schools, Marion Health Care Coalition posting a produce-specific proposal request due August 21, 2026, and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) soliciting food services via Invitation to Negotiate due March 6, 2025 for North Collier Regional Park concessions. The Collier County opportunity includes a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points and emphasizes diverse, high-quality food and beverage options across multiple venues; the Early County Schools bid requires deliveries Monday through Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. with no separate fuel charges included in pricing.
