UNSPSC 50434604: Dried organic lolla rossa lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50434604 Dried organic lolla rossa lettuce, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—organic lolla rossa lettuce—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under it. The opportunities solicited dried beans (kidney beans, pinto and red beans, black beans), CACFP meal program supplies including beverages and proteins, and broader cafeteria food products for correctional facilities, none of which directly match dried organic lettuce. This mismatch suggests either tagging error in the underlying procurement systems or significant divergence between the code's intended scope and current buying practice.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include Georgia Correctional Industries (kidney beans, RFQ with due date October 9, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections (approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, IFB due June 19, 2026 at $0.493 per pound historical pricing from incumbent Intersect USA), the State of Oregon (dried black beans, IFB due August 21, 2026), the City of Edinburg, Texas (CACFP meal program supplies including proteins and beverages for 400 children, RFP due August 4, 2026), the State of Illinois (weekly food order for July–September, due June 26, 2026), the State of Georgia (food supplies and kitchen products, due June 22, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division (approximately 382 cafeteria food product line items across five geographic TDCJ warehouse locations, IFB extended to May 4, 2026 with a $500,000 minimum commercial general liability insurance requirement). Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with Georgia and Oregon appearing as repeat buyers of dried bulk commodities for institutional feeding. Clarify internally whether this code receives chronic tagging errors or whether procurement staff use it as a catch-all for dried food items; either pattern warrants business development focus on the actual buying pattern rather than the code name.
