UNSPSC 50454610: Frozen organic baby red romaine lettuce

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic baby red romaine lettuce that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50454610 Frozen organic baby red romaine lettuce is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty produce items for food service and nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying this product as part of broader food-service supply contracts—typically bundled with dozens or hundreds of additional food items (proteins, grains, dairy, produce, condiments) rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies are primarily county boards and school districts procuring for senior services, nutrition assistance, and child nutrition programs under federal meal initiatives (National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program). All three recent opportunities are from Georgia: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education.

Gwinnett County issued an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services—a purchase spanning 35 line items with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 for 300+ food items supporting school meal programs across three schools, with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the scope emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with awards made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and piggybacking allowed for other school districts. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid in May 2026 with full scope contained in attached documentation. All three procurements carry standard state and local food-service compliance requirements: brand or approved-equivalent specifications, proper labeling and undamaged condition, delivery windows and temperature controls where applicable, HACCP plans, general liability insurance thresholds, E-Verify compliance, and debarment verification for bids exceeding $25,000.
