UNSPSC 50434608: Dried organic red oak leaf lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50434608 Dried organic red oak leaf lettuce (Commodity) does not match the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried organic red oak leaf lettuce. Instead, state and local agencies are purchasing dried beans—kidney beans, pinto beans, red beans, and black beans—in bulk institutional quantities, along with broader food-supply categories including proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and cafeteria staples for correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, and state agency meal services. The issuing bodies include state correctional departments and purchasing offices (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas), municipal and city governments (City of Edinburg, Texas), and state agencies procuring on behalf of institutional food-service operations. These purchases are driven by high-volume, recurring demand from captive institutional populations requiring USDA-compliant, bulk-packaged food supplies with multi-month shelf life and frequent delivery windows.

The code shows recent activity across Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140), with bids due June 19, 2026, which applied a combined 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' IFB (304T26300CF) for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across TDCJ warehouse locations, with response due May 4, 2026 following an extended deadline; the Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) for kidney beans in 880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026; and the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies serving 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The code's current activity does not support procurement of the specific commodity named in the taxonomy — dried organic red oak leaf lettuce — and business development professionals should verify the correct code or expect minimal pursuit opportunity under this Commodity designation.
