UNSPSC 50414515: Organic iceberg lettuce

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic iceberg lettuce

UNSPSC 50414515 Organic iceberg lettuce is a Commodity code that covers fresh produce procurement for institutional foodservice operations across state and local government. State and local governments buy organic iceberg lettuce and related fresh vegetables through food-service contracts that support parks concessions, healthcare facilities, schools, and other public operations. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, state procurement offices, and school districts; recent activity shows county boards of education and regional park authorities as active buyers. The scope of work includes both standalone produce-vendor contracts and line-item procurement embedded in broader food-and-supplies solicitations that bundle fresh vegetables with proteins, dairy, grains, and non-food items. Vendors must meet food-safety compliance, delivery schedules, freshness guarantees, and pricing based on seasonal availability, with Buy American and domestic-sourcing preferences common in school-district contracts.

Recent activity appears in Georgia and Florida. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on May 11, 2026 (bids due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items across three schools under the National School Lunch Program, including vegetables and fruits with emphasis on whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; the contract period runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 (proposals due March 6, 2025) for food services at North Collier Regional Park, requiring diverse food and beverage options across concession facilities serving athletic tournaments and community play. The State of Georgia issued a food, supplies, and kitchen-products IFB on May 15, 2026 (bids due June 22, 2026). The Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals on August 7, 2026 (due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery during the 2026-2027 contract period.
