UNSPSC 50434616: Dried organic lamb’s lettuces

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic lamb's lettuces that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434616 Dried organic lamb's lettuces is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities show little activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. Instead, the market activity visible under this classification tag reflects institutional food procurement for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agencies buying dried beans and bulk food products — kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and broader cafeteria food supplies — rather than lettuces or organic produce. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the City of Edinburg (Texas), and the State of Illinois all appear as recent issuers, but they are soliciting dried legumes and institutional food staples in volume, not fresh or dried greens. The mismatch between code name and actual procurement suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code is no longer reflective of the work state and local buyers are conducting under it.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with solicitations from Georgia (two opportunities), Oregon (two opportunities), and Texas (two opportunities), along with activity in Illinois. Representative procurements include the Georgia Correctional Industries RFQ for 880-bag increments of kidney beans due October 9, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of triple-cleaned pinto and red beans, due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multi-line-item IFB for cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments across five geographic distribution points, with the extended due date of May 4, 2026. The City of Edinburg's RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal supplies, due August 4, 2026, included a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. No solicitation under this code name matches the stated commodity description.
