UNSPSC 50434602: Dried organic boston lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50434602 Dried organic boston lettuce is a Commodity code that captures dried legumes and specialty produce items for institutional food service, though the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code diverge significantly from its nominal scope. State and local governments buying under this code actually procure dried beans—pinto, red, kidney, and black varieties—in bulk quantities for correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, and institutional meal preparation. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices managing food procurement for multiple agencies, city governments running child and adult care food programs, and specialized state purchasing divisions. Work solicited ranges from single-commodity procurements (dried beans in 880-bag or multi-thousand-pound lots) to comprehensive food-supply contracts spanning proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and paper goods for institutional kitchens.
