UNSPSC 50424604: Dried lolla rossa lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50424604 Dried lolla rossa lettuce, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent activity directly matching its narrow product scope; state and local governments do procure dried lettuce as part of broader food-service contracts, but recent solicitations tag the code inconsistently and do not isolate this product for competitive bidding. The source contains no standalone dried lolla rossa lettuce solicitations. Instead, the recent opportunities—across school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs—embed lettuce and other produce within comprehensive grocery, fresh-produce, and food-supply contracts that span dozens or hundreds of line items. For example, Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) procures 76+ grocery items for 45 schools plus distribution centers; Muscogee County School District's fresh-produce ITB 26-017 (due April 27, 2026) covers 60 produce line items including leafy greens; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) bundles produce and eggs for 30 districts with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million combined across two areas. School districts dominate the recent solicitation stream, alongside state corrections departments and one city child nutrition program (City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal program, RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026).

Activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. Georgia school districts—including Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), Douglas County, and Muscogee County—are repeat buyers pursuing multi-year produce contracts. Texas procurement spans the state's Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) cafeteria-food solicitation 304T-26-300CF via the Texas Comptroller, due May 4, 2026, and the City of Edinburg child nutrition program. Oregon's Department of Corrections has posted two dried-bean procurements (S2910000016233, March 20, 2026, and S2910000017140, June 19, 2026) that illustrate state-corrections purchasing of bulk dried staples. The Illinois quarterly food-order solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821 (due June 26, 2026) and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) round out geographic coverage. However, none of these opportunities isolates dried lolla rossa lettuce as a distinct line item or procurement category; the code's narrow specificity does not align with the bundled, multi-item procurement structures state and local buyers favor, making this Commodity code an indicator of minimal standalone market activity.
