UNSPSC 50454620: Frozen organic red headed lettuces

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

UNSPSC 50454620 Frozen organic red headed lettuces is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of frozen organic red-headed lettuces specifically. Instead, state and local governments are soliciting broadly for fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, and comprehensive food service products to support school nutrition programs and state operations. The actual buying activity under this code involves school districts and state agencies requesting fresh vegetables and fruits (including leafy greens), frozen entrees and side dishes, dairy products, grains, and related food service supplies through RFPs and IFBs. Issuing bodies are primarily large school districts—including Dallas Independent School District, the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, and Rockwood R-VI School District—alongside state agencies in Georgia and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative that aggregate demand across multiple school districts.
