UNSPSC 50434606: Dried organic mizuna lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50434606 Dried organic mizuna lettuce is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broader range of institutional dried legumes and bulk food staples procured by state and local agencies for correctional facilities, school food programs, and other public meal services. Recent solicitations under this code show state correctional systems, state agencies, and municipalities buying dried beans — including kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans — in bulk quantities (thousands of pounds to tens of thousands of pounds per order) with specifications covering USDA grading standards, moisture content, foreign-material thresholds, triple-cleaning requirements, and compliance with FDA and HACCP standards. The issuing bodies are primarily state correctional departments, state purchasing offices, municipal governments, and institutions operating child and adult care food programs, with work centered on procurement and delivery logistics to centralized distribution points or meal-service facilities.

Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) in October 2026 for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with delivery due by October 9, 2026, all-inclusive pricing, and strict specification compliance requirements. The Oregon Department of Corrections sought bids (S2910000017140) in June 2026 for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, triple-cleaned to U.S. No. 2 grade or better, with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers and a historical price reference of $0.493 per pound. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited proposals under an RFP (RFP2026017) in August 2026 for a CACFP meal program spanning five supply categories including food proteins and dried goods, serving 400 children daily over 9 months with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The State of Oregon also requested bids (S2910000017705) for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, in August 2026. Activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois, with institutional food service and correctional-system procurement driving the volume.
