UNSPSC 50424603: Dried frisee lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50424603 Dried frisee lettuce is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitation activity under this code does not reflect purchases of dried frisee lettuce. Instead, issuing bodies are procuring dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—for institutional food service, including correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and state agency meal operations. The scope spans bulk dried legumes meeting USDA grading standards, triple-cleaned to remove debris and contaminants, sized for institutional cooking and meal preparation. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Georgia, Oregon), state purchasing divisions (Georgia, Illinois), city governments (Edinburg, Texas), and state education or food-service agencies. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and actual purchasing activity; buyers are consistently soliciting dried beans rather than dried frisee lettuce.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections requested approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (RFQ S2910000017705 and S2910000017140, due June 19 and August 21, 2026), with a combined 10 percent Oregon-origin preference and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, requested food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children, including beans as part of a broader meal-service scope (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026), with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procured through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). The State of Illinois solicited a quarterly weekly food order (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026). All procurement is for FOB destination delivery with transportation and delivery included in pricing.
