UNSPSC 50414523: Organic tatsoi lettuce

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic tatsoi lettuce

UNSPSC 50414523 Organic tatsoi lettuce is a Commodity code tracking procurement of a specific produce item by state and local jurisdictions, though recent opportunities show the code's actual application spans broader fresh-produce and food-service aggregation rather than organic tatsoi exclusively. State and local buyers solicit produce under this code through county parks and recreation divisions, healthcare coalitions, state food-service programs, and school districts. The work involves securing fresh vegetables and fruits—including organic and conventional varieties—for operational food service across multiple venue types: regional parks with concession operations, healthcare facilities, institutional cafeterias, and school lunch programs. Vendors typically bid line-by-line pricing, meet food-safety and USDA compliance requirements (including whole-grain, low-sodium, and additive-free specifications where applicable), maintain cold-chain logistics with documented temperature and freshness standards, and accept firm pricing for stated periods with escalation provisions tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks. Some jurisdictions apply local-vendor preferences or emphasize domestic sourcing, and contracts often include multi-year terms with renewal options and piggybacking provisions for other districts.

Recent activity shows a mix of issuing bodies spanning Florida, Georgia, and multi-state reach. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 (due March 6, 2025) for food-concession services at North Collier Regional Park, which includes fresh-produce supply as part of broader food-and-beverage operations and applies a 10-point local-vendor preference for Collier or Lee County permanent business addresses. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-proposal request on August 7, 2026 (due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables with seasonal pricing adjustments for the 2026-2027 contract period. Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; the contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with firm pricing for 15 days from award and six-month escalation review windows. The State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies request on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) with full scope and specifications in an attached document.
