UNSPSC 50424614: Dried green leaf lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50424614 Dried green leaf lettuce is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of packaged dried lettuce products for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child care meal operations. The code sees activity across school districts, state corrections agencies, and municipal child care providers soliciting produce and fresh-produce-adjacent items as components of broader meal service contracts rather than as standalone dried-leaf lettuce line items. Recent solicitations under this code and related produce categories emphasize weekly or regular delivery cadences to multiple school sites or central distribution points, compliance with USDA and HACCP standards, firm fixed pricing over contract terms, and detailed nutritional labeling.

Solicitation activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia school districts and state agencies. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP 2026017 (Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service) on July 16, 2026, with proposals due August 4, 2026, requesting food products including vegetables across five supply categories for 400 children daily. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000017140 on June 5, 2026, for dried pinto and red beans with a June 19 response date, establishing a pattern of state corrections procurement of shelf-stable produce and legume items. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited Master Grocery K-12 services under IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, for weekly delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens. The Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) issued an IFB for grocery items spanning over 900 line items due April 29, 2026, and the Muscogee County School District (Georgia) solicited fresh produce under ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) posted RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative on February 4, 2026, seeking fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Virginia, Missouri, Oregon, and Illinois; however, the sourced opportunities show that true standalone dried-green-leaf-lettuce procurement is not separately itemized in recent solicitations—lettuce appears bundled within broader produce, grocery, or meal-service contracts rather than as a discrete commodity bid.
