UNSPSC 50414517: Organic looseleaf lettuces

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic looseleaf lettuces

UNSPSC 50414517 Organic looseleaf lettuces is a Commodity code under which state and local governments purchase fresh produce — primarily vegetables and fruits — for food service operations across parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and other institutional settings. The recent opportunities show that issuing bodies are soliciting produce either as part of broader food-service concession contracts, standalone fresh-produce procurement for healthcare or school nutrition programs, or as line items within comprehensive food and supplies bids. Collier County, for example, is seeking a food-service vendor for North Collier Regional Park via an Invitation to Negotiate that includes concession menus with fresh vegetables and fruits; Early County Board of Education is bidding approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for school breakfast and lunch programs; and Marion Health Care Coalition is requesting produce proposals for healthcare operations. The mix of issuing bodies spans county parks and recreation divisions, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices, each with distinct sourcing timelines and volume requirements.

Geographic activity is present in Florida, Georgia, and likely additional states represented in the data. Recent representative opportunities include the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park food services (due March 6, 2025, though posted October 8, 2026), Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid covering vegetables, fruits, and related items for school nutrition programs (due June 8, 2026), Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposals (due August 21, 2026), and the State of Georgia's broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026). School districts are the most frequent recent solicitors under this code, typically emphasizing domestic sourcing, low-sodium formulations, and whole-grain or fresh-fruit options aligned with USDA nutrition standards; contract terms generally run one fiscal year with renewal options. Collier County's solicitation applies a 10-point local-vendor preference and requires $1 million general liability insurance; Early County School District allows other jurisdictions to piggyback on identical bid terms and enforces HACCP food-safety plans and Buy American compliance.
