UNSPSC 50424601: Dried bibb lettuce

The variety of lettuce known as bibb lettuce that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424601 Dried bibb lettuce, a Commodity code, represents a narrow produce segment that state and local governments procure for institutional meal programs—child nutrition services, school cafeterias, correctional facilities, and child and adult care food programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing dried and fresh produce more broadly under related codes; the specific commodity "dried bibb lettuce" does not appear in any of the posted opportunities, which instead focus on fresh produce delivery, dried beans, and general grocery staples for large-scale institutional feeding operations.

State and local procurement activity under produce-adjacent codes shows steady demand from school districts, state corrections departments, and child nutrition programs across multiple regions. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued solicitations for dried pinto beans (ITB S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026, and ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) spanning 127,500 and 42,500 pounds respectively; Georgia school districts and the State of Georgia issued multiple IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce and grocery items (Muscogee County School District ITB 26-017, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34, State of Georgia IFB PE68504NONST2026000000006); Texas school districts and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products and grocery items via IFB 304T26300CF; and Fairfax County Public Schools and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri issued master grocery contracts covering hundreds of line items. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted an RFP for CACFP meal program supplies (RFP 2026017, due August 4, 2026) with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. No recent opportunities specifically name dried bibb lettuce, suggesting the code experiences minimal state and local procurement activity at present. Pursue only if your firm supplies institutional produce programs seeking narrow-spec dried greens; otherwise, watch the broader produce and grocery categories (fresh produce, dried beans, master grocery contracts) where documented demand is active across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri.
