UNSPSC 50464603: Canned or jarred frisee lettuce

The variety of lettuce known as frisee lettuce that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50464603 Canned or jarred frisee lettuce, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The few opportunities associated with this code center on broad food service procurement—weekly food orders, quarterly produce and consumables supply, and school nutrition staple items—but none of the substantive opportunities in the source material involve frisee lettuce specifically or specialty greens in any form. The code's nominal scope (a single vegetable item) sits at stark odds with the actual work being solicited, which encompasses hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, frozen entrees, fresh produce, condiments, and supplies across statewide institutional food service networks.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies. School nutrition programs drive the majority of recent activity, with sealed bids posted by Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County in Missouri, Ben Hill County and Muscogee County in Georgia, and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, all seeking master grocery or annual food supply contracts. State-level procurement appears in Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food orders, Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitations for state hospitals and supported living centers, and Oregon Department of Corrections warehouse supply contracts. Texas and Georgia show the densest recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's solicitation for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items across fresh, frozen, and specialty foods for state supported living centers statewide with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens with minimum three-year vendor experience required; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, ITB, due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent each. The code itself shows little relevant recent activity in the frisee lettuce category and warrants close review for reclassification or code-mapping accuracy before pursuing opportunities under this nominal commodity.
