UNSPSC 50434607: Dried organic red leaf lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50434607 Dried organic red leaf lettuce is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as a component within broader food service and nutrition supply contracts, though the recent opportunities block shows no standalone solicitations explicitly requesting dried organic red leaf lettuce by name. Instead, the code's activity appears embedded in larger grocery, produce, and food-service procurements where dried greens or specialty produce items may be specified among dozens or hundreds of line items. The school districts, state departments, and corrections systems buying under food-service and nutrition codes source lettuce and similar fresh or processed vegetables through master grocery agreements, child nutrition programs, and institutional food supply contracts that accept brand-specific or equivalent products. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing offices (Georgia, Illinois), and local jurisdictions supporting child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas).

The recent solicitations show produce and grocery procurements posted across Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon between January and July 2026. Representative opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries); Muscogee County School District's purchase of fresh produce items (ITB 26-017, bid due April 27, 2026, encompassing 60 produce line items with annual volumes up to 1,500 cases); the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two); Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's annual fresh produce contract (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026, with 72 line items and 21,125 cases of Fuji apples annually); and the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items procurement (due April 29, 2026, covering over 900 line items serving nearly 7,800 daily meal participants). Dried organic red leaf lettuce does not surface as a standalone or emphasized item in the available solicitation summaries, suggesting the code either sees minimal direct specification or is tagged administratively within broader grocery classifications where dried greens are optional or substitutable products.
