UNSPSC 50434619: Dried organic red boston lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50434619 Dried organic red boston lettuce, a Commodity code, is rarely solicited by state and local governments in its exact specification; recent opportunities reveal that state and local buyers procure dried legumes and institutional food staples far more frequently than the code's narrow focus on lettuce. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the State of Illinois have all posted recent bids for dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, and black beans), flour, proteins, dairy products, and general cafeteria staples intended for institutional meal preparation in correctional facilities, schools, and child-care programs. The issuing bodies are typically state corrections departments, state food-procurement divisions acting on behalf of criminal justice or child-care agencies, and municipal or local education entities. Work solicited under related dried-food codes emphasizes compliance with USDA grade standards, triple-cleaning specifications for contaminants and stones, moisture-content limits, palletization and FOB-destination delivery requirements, and bulk institutional-scale quantities suitable for prison kitchens, school cafeterias, and child-care meal programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (IFB S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026), with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered bidders, triple-cleaned beans to U.S. No. 2 or better grade, FOB destination to Salem within 45 days, and a historical price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with delivery included in all-inclusive bid pricing and no separate freight reimbursement. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 (due August 4, 2026) for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies serving approximately 400 children daily, requiring daily Monday-Friday delivery before noon across five supply categories — beverages, paper goods, proteins, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items — with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 for bids within 5% of the lowest price. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Statewide Procurement Division, posted IFB 304T-26-300CF (originally due April 21, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. Central Time) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic Texas regions with FOB-Destination delivery to six TDCJ distribution points, firm fixed all-inclusive pricing incorporating shipping and fuel surcharges, a mandatory pre-bid conference held March 26, 2026, and a contract term through August 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals.
