UNSPSC 50434611: Dried organic butterhead lettuces

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic butterhead lettuces that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434611 Dried organic butterhead lettuces is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual state and local procurement activity in the source material. The recent opportunities posted under this code span broad fresh and packaged food procurement for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care services — none of which specifically target dried organic butterhead lettuces or dried produce at commodity level. The City of Edinburg, Texas is soliciting food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily under RFP2026017 due August 4, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued bids for dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) and separately for dried pinto beans alone (S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products across 382 line items for multiple warehouse locations under IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either misclassification at tagging or a code designation that does not align with current purchasing patterns.

State and local issuers purchasing under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham in Georgia), state departments of corrections in Oregon and Texas, and city governments and school nutrition cooperatives in Georgia and Missouri. Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs and corrections facilities as the dominant buyer categories. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Rockwood School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items solicitation covering over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026); and Muscogee County School District's fresh produce procurement with pricing tied to USDA Fruit and Vegetable Market News Index (due April 27, 2026). If sourcing dried organic butterhead lettuces specifically, verify that the issuing body has tagged the opportunity correctly before pursuing.
