UNSPSC 50424623: Dried tatsoi lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50424623 Dried tatsoi lettuce (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity with minimal recent specificity to the named code. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show instead a pattern of broader dried-bean and institutional food-supply solicitations — kidney beans, pinto and red beans, black beans, and mixed cafeteria food products for correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agencies. The work being bought is bulk dried commodity proteins and prepared foods for institutional meal service, typically in large quantities (42,500 pounds and above for beans; 882-bag increments), with strict USDA grading, triple-cleaning, and food-safety compliance requirements. State correctional systems and child and adult care food programs (CACFP) are the dominant issuing bodies under these codes.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) posted bids for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with a June 19, 2026 response date and a combined 10% Oregon-fabrication and Oregon-headquarters evaluation preference; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas and multiple TDCJ distribution points with a response date extended to May 4, 2026; the Georgia Department of Corrections Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026 in 880-bag increments; and the City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited RFP proposals for CACFP meal-program supplies serving approximately 400 children daily with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and a response date of August 4, 2026. None of the recent records explicitly address tatsoi lettuce as a procurement item; the code shows little relevant activity aligned with its nominal commodity name.
