UNSPSC 50454613: Frozen organic crisphead lettuces

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

UNSPSC 50454613 Frozen organic crisphead lettuces is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce and food-service ingredients purchased by state and local governments, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows a broader food-procurement scope than the narrow product name suggests. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). The work being solicited encompasses food procurement for senior services, state kitchen operations, and school meal programs — typically line-by-line or item-by-item competitive bids for food and related products with delivery and compliance requirements tied to the issuing body's operations. Scope typically includes shelf-stable foods, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and non-food kitchen supplies, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, USDA compliance (particularly for school nutrition programs), and food-safety protocols including HACCP certification and recall procedures.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables) for senior services delivery by December 7, 2026, with quotes due October 19, 2026. The State of Georgia solicited bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 deadline. Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026 and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the school district emphasized domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with pricing firm for 15 days from award and escalation requests considered on a six-month basis supported by USDA or Consumer Price Index data.
