UNSPSC 50454605: Frozen organic mesculin mix lettuce

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic mesculin mix lettuce that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50454605 Frozen organic mesculin mix lettuce is a Commodity code that frames a narrow product line, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span much broader food procurement — shelf-stable items, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and non-food kitchen supplies for senior services, institutional food service, and school meals. The code shows activity across state agencies, county purchasing offices, and school district procurement, with Gwinnett County and Early County Board of Education appearing as recent buyers. The scope mismatch between the code's nominal product and the solicitations posted under it suggests either that state and local procurement systems tag food categories broadly or that vendors respond to multi-item food RFQs and IFBs under a primary code that does not capture every line item.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and sauces for the Department of Community Services, with delivery required by December 7, 2026 to Lawrenceville. Early County Board of Education released a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains, plus 60+ non-food and paper supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia also posted a broad food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026), though full scope and item detail are contained in an attached document. Awards in school and county food bids are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; Early County requires Buy American compliance, $500,000 general liability insurance, and E-Verify verification for bids exceeding $25,000.
