UNSPSC 50434617: Dried organic looseleaf lettuces

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

UNSPSC 50434617 Dried organic looseleaf lettuces, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual purchasing activity under this code in recent state and local procurement. The source contains no solicitations for dried organic looseleaf lettuces specifically; instead, the recent opportunities are tagged with this code but request fresh produce, fresh vegetables, dried beans, and comprehensive grocery supply including proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care operations. The nominal code scope and the work actually being bought diverge significantly.

State and local governments soliciting food products—school districts, corrections departments, and child nutrition agencies across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri—are requesting broad-based food procurement rather than a single dried-lettuce commodity line. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supply to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026); Muscogee County School District soliciting fresh produce via ITB 26-017 across 60 produce line items (due April 27, 2026); the Texas Comptroller procuring cafeteria food products for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice under IFB 304T-26-300CF covering 382 line items spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and specialty entrees (extended to May 4, 2026); and the City of Edinburg issuing RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supply across beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items (due August 4, 2026). The code shows activity in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Oregon, and Missouri, but the procurement substance—diverse food categories, large annual quantities, strict nutritional and regulatory compliance, firm fixed pricing, and structured delivery schedules—bears little relation to a single dried organic vegetable commodity.
