UNSPSC 50464605: Canned or jarred mesculin mix lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50464605 Canned or jarred mesculin mix lettuce is a Commodity code that sees sparse recent activity in state and local procurement — only one opportunity in the source explicitly names this specific product, though several broader food solicitations include canned or jarred vegetables as line items among hundreds of food categories. The code captures specialty salad-mix products that state and local agencies buy as part of comprehensive food service procurement for institutional feeding programs, primarily school nutrition services, state correctional facilities, state health and human services institutions, and veterans' homes. When state and local buyers source canned or jarred mesculin mix lettuce, they typically do so alongside other prepared produce, canned vegetables, and salad components as part of larger food supply contracts rather than in standalone solicitations for this item.

Issuing bodies include school districts (particularly active across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon), state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and state veterans' facilities. The geographic spread centers on Georgia (multiple school districts including Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, and Burke County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Texas (HHSC statewide), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' food procurement (IFB, due June 15, 2026), requesting hundreds of line items across produce and food categories with Buy American Act compliance; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables solicitation (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for grocery delivery to 45 schools; and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery solicitations (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items for the 2026-27 school year. The code shows no standout concentration — activity is distributed across state departments, county systems, and independent school districts with no single buyer appearing more than twice in the source.
