UNSPSC 50454619: Frozen organic red boston lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50454619 Frozen organic red boston lettuce, a Commodity code, nominally represents a single produce item, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code reveal a much broader scope: state and local governments are actually buying multi-item food service bundles encompassing shelf-stable pantry staples, proteins, dairy, fresh and frozen produce, bread products meeting USDA specifications, and associated non-food kitchen supplies and cleaning products. The issuing bodies are mixed across state agencies, county purchasing offices, and independent school districts, with particular volume in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education have all posted food-service RFQs and IFBs in recent months, signaling routine, recurring demand for food-service procurement across these jurisdictions.

Georgia accounts for all three recent opportunities in the block: Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote request (IWQ 140229) on October 13, 2026 with a response deadline of October 19, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and canned vegetables for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026; the State of Georgia issued a bid solicitation in May 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products; and Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 with a June 8, 2026 response date for approximately 300+ food items, 60 non-food and paper supplies, and fluid milk for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Early County solicitation emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain specifications, low-sodium formulations, and no added sugars or artificial additives, with awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders and prices firm for 15 days from award.
