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, a Commodity code, covers specialty produce items sourced for institutional food service, though recent state and local activity under this specific code shows minimal relevant procurement. The recent opportunities recorded under this code span school nutrition programs, corrections food service, and broader grocery supply initiatives, but only one solicitation—the Muscogee County School District's produce procurement—directly addresses fresh produce as a line item, and the balance reflect general grocery categories (beans, cafeteria food products, fresh produce broadly) rather than the organic red oak leaf lettuce variety specified by the code itself.

The issuing bodies pursuing food service procurement across this code tier are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and a city government program (City of Edinburg, Texas, for CACFP). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, responses due April 27, 2026) covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens with weekly Monday-Friday deliveries; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's annual fresh produce contract (Bid 26-34, responses due April 23, 2026) for 72 produce items across 60 school sites; and Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for dried pinto beans (S2910000016233, responses due March 20, 2026). School districts typically weight cost at 30–50 percent of the evaluation, with product quality, vendor experience, and service capability comprising the remainder. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit dried organic red oak leaf lettuce by name or specification.
