UNSPSC 50464604: Canned or jarred lolla rossa lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50464604 Canned or jarred lolla rossa lettuce is a Commodity code that sees modest but consistent activity in state and local procurement driven primarily by school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. State and local governments buy canned and jarred specialty vegetables under this code, though the recent opportunities block shows the code is tagged across a broader range of food procurement activity than lolla rossa lettuce alone — school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and state institutions soliciting general food supply contracts often include this item as one line among hundreds of produce, protein, and shelf-stable goods. The issuing bodies are school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home), and county boards of education (Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate recent procurement volume under the code.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Texas, with secondary volume in Illinois, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with responses due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP food service classes and noting a prior period historical value of $1.5 million; the Ben Hill County Schools School Nutrition Program issuing IFB #26271 for comprehensive school food procurement covering multiple categories with bids due June 15, 2026 and delivery to four school locations; and the Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens, with bids due April 27, 2026. Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, and firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods are standard across solicitations; school districts frequently permit price adjustments tied to USDA market indices or Consumer Price Index measures. Payment terms run 30 to 90 days post-delivery, and contract periods typically span one fiscal year with renewal options of two to four one-year terms.
