UNSPSC 50424612: Dried chinese lettuces

The variety of lettuce known as chinese lettuces that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424612 Dried chinese lettuces, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement under its nominal scope; the code does not appear in any of the recent opportunities posted across Texas, Illinois, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia during the first seven months of 2026. The single solicitation opportunity tagged to this code — the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP Meal Program RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) — encompasses a broad food and nonfood supply contract for child nutrition that includes beverages, paper goods, proteins, dairy, fruits, vegetables, and snacks for approximately 400 children ages 1–18, but does not specifically identify dried chinese lettuces or any comparable specialty produce item as part of the scope. The coded opportunities instead reflect school districts, corrections departments, and public child nutrition programs sourcing fresh produce, dried legumes (pinto and red beans), and broad grocery categories, but not this specific commodity.

Procurement activity across related produce and grocery codes during this period concentrated in Georgia (multiple school district fresh produce and food supply contracts through single-award and cooperative-purchasing vehicles), Texas (TDCJ cafeteria food products, City of Edinburg CACFP supplies), Oregon (dried bean contracts through ODOC), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI school district grocery items), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools master grocery K–12). This geographic and institutional diversity—spanning state corrections, public schools, school nutrition cooperatives, and municipal child care programs—suggests robust procurement of fresh and processed food categories across multiple end-use contexts, but the dried chinese lettuce commodity appears dormant under current state and local sourcing patterns. Vendors pursuing opportunities in this tier should monitor broader grocery and produce codes (50420000–50429999) where current activity concentrates, rather than expect near-term demand under this specific Commodity code.
