UNSPSC 50424620: Dried red headed lettuces

The variety of lettuce known as red headed lettuces that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424620 Dried red headed lettuces, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity present in the recent state and local opportunities sourced for this category. The opportunities tagged under this code span fresh produce, dried beans, grocery staples, cafeteria food products, and eggs — none of which are dried lettuces. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the live solicitation data suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this Commodity code does not meaningfully capture current state and local food procurement.

The recent opportunities do reveal active purchasing across school nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, and local health and human services agencies. School districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) have issued IFBs and RFPs for grocery items, fresh produce, and eggs under notice types ranging from RFP to ITB, with response dates clustered from March through May 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have separately solicited dried pinto and red beans and diverse cafeteria food products. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois have issued solicitations for CACFP food service supply and quarterly food orders respectively. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois. Because the code's abstract name does not align with the specific commodities actually being procured, business development professionals should verify the precise product or service line before investing pursuit resources.
