UNSPSC 50444613: Frozen crisphead lettuces

The variety of lettuce known as crisphead lettuces that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50444613 Frozen crisphead lettuces is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities block shows no activity under this code itself. State and local buyers are actively procuring frozen vegetables, but the postings are tagged to broader frozen vegetable codes covering corn, assorted blends, carrots, mixed vegetables, and multi-category grocery bundles rather than crisphead lettuce specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Pennsylvania, and other institutional food service buyers are regularly soliciting frozen vegetable products through ITBs, IFBs, and RFPs. The activity reflects institutional cafeteria and correctional facility supply chains, where frozen vegetables move as commodity line items within larger grocery or produce contracts, not as standalone crisphead lettuce procurements.

The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ), county governments (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Early County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Bulloch County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Decatur City Schools), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts. Geographic spread is wide, with substantial recent activity in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Pennsylvania. Representative solicitations show frozen vegetables grouped within larger food supply contracts—the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for frozen corn (due July 24, 2026), the Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products bid (382 line items, due May 4, 2026), and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (due April 27, 2026) all treat frozen vegetables as part of commodity or main-line food service provisioning rather than as specialty produce. No recent postings specifically target frozen crisphead lettuce in isolation.
