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 (Commodity) does not reflect current state and local procurement activity. The code name specifies a single specialty produce item, but recent state and local solicitations under this Commodity code show no bids for dried organic mache lettuce. Instead, the opportunities posted between January and July 2026 span broad fresh produce categories, dried staple beans, cafeteria groceries, and school nutrition supplies—with mache lettuce appearing nowhere in the line items, bid documents, or scopes of work.

State and local governments buying under this code are school districts, state departments of corrections, and state purchasing offices, with heaviest activity in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia. Recent representatives include the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services (Missouri) issuing an IFB for over 900 grocery line items spanning snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, and meats for the 2026–27 school year (due April 29, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division requesting sealed bids for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (ITB due March 20, 2026); the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issuing Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items including apples, bananas, and leafy greens (bids due April 23, 2026); and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issuing an IFB for approximately 382 cafeteria food product line items (extended deadline May 4, 2026). Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited Master Grocery K-12 grocery products and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (sealed bids due April 27, 2026). The code shows substantial activity across institutional food service, but pursuit depends on supplier capability to source or manufacture items actually in current demand—dried organic mache lettuce does not appear in any recent posting.
