UNSPSC 50424616: Dried lamb’s lettuces

The variety of lettuce known as lamb's lettuces that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424616 Dried lamb's lettuces is a Commodity code that captures minimal recent state and local procurement activity; the code's nominal scope does not align with the actual work being solicited under it. Recent opportunities posted against this code include broad food-service procurement for school districts, corrections departments, and municipal agencies, but none of the solicitations name dried lamb's lettuce or any leafy green products as line items. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) serving approximately 400 children daily via RFP 2026017 (due August 4, 2026), while the Oregon Department of Corrections and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple ITBs for dried beans, cafeteria entrees, and fresh produce in support of institutional food service. The State of Illinois issued a weekly food order for a quarterly supply (FY-27 IVHQ), and the State of Georgia solicited both fresh produce and general food supplies. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and South Carolina—including Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Muscogee County School District—issued RFPs and IFBs for master grocery contracts, fresh produce, and school nutrition services, with annual spending estimates ranging from approximately $1.1 million to $9 million.

The issuing-body mix reflects institutional and K–12 food service: state departments of corrections and agriculture, municipal child nutrition programs, and school districts of varying sizes. The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas, Illinois, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and South Carolina. Opportunities solicited fresh produce (apples, bananas, vegetables), dried beans, prepared entrees, dairy, grains, and janitorial supplies—none of which specifically include dried lamb's lettuce. The code shows low alignment with actual procurement demand and presents minimal pursuit value in its current form; business development professionals should verify whether the code assignment reflects a data-entry error or a genuine but dormant commodity line.
