UNSPSC 50414513: Organic crisphead lettuces

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic crisphead lettuces

UNSPSC 50414513 Organic crisphead lettuces is a Commodity code encompassing fresh produce supplied to institutional food service operations, schools, healthcare facilities, and parks concessions. State and local governments buy this product as part of broader food procurement for school lunch programs, healthcare operations, and public facility food services, where crisphead lettuce and similar fresh vegetables appear as line items in larger produce or food supply bids. The issuing bodies include school districts, county parks departments, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. Recent solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing preferences, food-safety compliance including HACCP plans, temperature-controlled delivery, and competitive wholesale pricing with volume commitments over multi-year contract terms.

Activity under this code is concentrated in the Southeast. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on May 11, 2026 with bids due June 8, 2026 for approximately 300+ food items including fresh vegetables and fruits across three schools for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. The State of Georgia issued an IFB on May 15, 2026 with bids due June 22, 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products. Marion Health Care Coalition (MHCC) sought produce vendor proposals posted August 7, 2026 with a due date of August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period. Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division issued an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 with proposals due March 6, 2025 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points and a three-year base term with two one-year renewal options. No recent opportunities explicitly isolate organic crisphead lettuce as a standalone line item; the code appears in aggregated institutional produce and food-service bids where individual fresh vegetables are rarely called out separately.
