UNSPSC 50434618: Dried organic mache lettuce

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic mache lettuce that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434618 Dried organic mache lettuce, a Commodity code, shows limited recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments procure this code primarily for institutional food service—correctional facilities, schools, child care programs, and state agencies—though the recent opportunities block records no solicitations for mache lettuce specifically. Instead, the code's recent activity reflects a broader pattern of state and local procurement for dried legumes and institutional food products: Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with all-inclusive delivery pricing; Oregon's Department of Corrections sought approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-sourced or Oregon-headquartered suppliers; and the State of Oregon posted a bid for triple-cleaned dried black beans (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026) for institutional use. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are primarily state correctional systems, departments of agriculture or procurement acting on behalf of state agencies and educational institutions, and municipal food-service programs.

Activity concentrates in Oregon and Georgia, with additional procurement from Texas and Illinois. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 (due August 4, 2026) for Child and Adult Care Food Program supplies serving 400 children daily, including beverages, paper goods, food products, and janitorial supplies, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 for vendors within 5% of the lowest bid. The State of Illinois solicited a quarterly weekly food order (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) with brand-specific or equivalent items. Georgia also issued a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, posted IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations (extended due date May 4, 2026). Dried legumes and bulk institutional food procurement dominate the recent record; solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, triple-cleaned specifications, palletized FOB-destination delivery, and all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight reimbursement.
