UNSPSC 50454604: Frozen organic lolla rossa lettuce

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic lolla rossa lettuce that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50454604 Frozen organic lolla rossa lettuce is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local jurisdictions, though recent opportunities show the actual buying activity under this code encompasses a much broader food sourcing scope — shelf-stable pantry items, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and fresh produce — rather than the narrow frozen-lettuce specification alone. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include county purchasing offices, state agencies, and school districts. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners has used the code for informal written quotes on bulk food items for senior services; Early County Board of Education solicited under it for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program supply; and the State of Georgia posted a food supplies and kitchen products bid referencing this classification. The issuing-body mix reflects the diversity of food-service demand across social services, institutional feeding programs, and state-level procurement operations.

Georgia dominates the recent activity, with three posted opportunities between May and October 2026 — the State of Georgia's general food supplies bid (RFQ posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026), Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid for three schools (IFB posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026), and Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of food items for the Department of Community Services (IWQ 140229, posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026). Early County's scope is representative of school district practice under this code: 300+ food items spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments, plus 60 non-food and paper supplies, with domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain requirements, low-sodium formulations, and USDA compliance mandated; contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with extension and renewal options. Award under these solicitations is typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with pricing evaluated per unit of measure, delivery to specified locations, and vendor compliance with Buy American, E-Verify, insurance, debarment, and food-safety requirements.
