UNSPSC 50424606: Dried mizuna lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50424606 Dried mizuna lettuce is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific leafy green variety, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct activity tied to this code's precise specification. The few opportunities tagged under it reflect broader fresh produce and grocery procurement for public institutions — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care operations — where dried mizuna lettuce, if procured at all, appears as one line item among hundreds in larger food service contracts rather than as a standalone purchase category.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related produce and grocery codes (which subsume this Commodity) include school districts, state corrections departments, and municipal child nutrition programs across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. School districts dominate the recent activity: Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System have all posted master grocery, fresh produce, and food supply RFPs and ITBs in the past four months. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited dried pinto beans twice (March and June 2026) at substantial volumes (127,500 and 42,500 pounds respectively), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement through the Comptroller of Public Accounts encompasses roughly 382 line items across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted an RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal supplies with local-vendor preference on August 4, 2026. Geographic concentration centers on Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois. No single representative solicitation directly spotlights dried mizuna lettuce; instead, opportunities cite "fresh produce," "grocery items," or "food products" in the aggregate, with line-item specificity deferred to attached bid documents or bid portals. A business development team pursuing this Commodity code should treat it as a component of larger food-service or master-grocery contracts rather than as a standalone procurement vehicle — positioning dried mizuna lettuce within broader product portfolios offered to school districts and institutional food buyers.
