UNSPSC 50424613: Dried crisphead lettuces

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

UNSPSC 50424613 Dried crisphead lettuces is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers dried leafy greens, but the recent opportunities posted under it do not reflect that scope; instead, the tagged solicitations cover broad food-service procurement (fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria staples, and grocery items for school nutrition and institutional feeding) where dried lettuces may represent one line item among hundreds. The issuing bodies are school districts, state departments of corrections, and state purchasing divisions—chiefly education and institutional food-service customers. The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with school districts in Georgia and Texas appearing most frequently in recent postings.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts / Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF (posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026, later extended to May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic TDCJ warehouse locations; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for food delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services bid (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) for over 900 grocery line items supporting approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily. The code appears to serve as a catch-all tag in institutional food procurement rather than a primary driver of sourcing; vendors pursuing these opportunities should treat dried crisphead lettuces as a minor commodity line embedded within larger food-service contracts, not as a standalone product category.
