UNSPSC 50464610: Canned or jarred baby red romaine lettuce

The variety of lettuce known as baby red romaine lettuce that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50464610 Canned or jarred baby red romaine lettuce, a Commodity code, represents shelf-stable produce items that state and local governments procure primarily for food service operations at institutional facilities. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers purchasing canned and jarred vegetables as components of broader food consumables contracts supporting state-operated living centers, corrections facilities, schools, and county services. The code encompasses single-item vegetable purchases alongside multi-line food procurement activities where canned produce functions as a staple element rather than a primary commodity driver. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county school districts, county services departments, and independent school nutrition programs, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple recent solicitations for state supported living centers.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026) and IFB HHS0017872 (Lufkin fiscal 2027 consumables, due August 25, 2026), both structured as multi-line food and supplies contracts; the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with 5 percent preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia posted a comprehensive school nutrition food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) spanning fresh, frozen, and canned produce across four school locations. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). Code activity shows no recent opportunities tied specifically to baby red romaine lettuce; instead, canned tomatoes, canned vegetables, and mixed vegetable line items dominate the recent solicitation record, indicating potential tagging misalignment or that the specific baby red romaine lettuce commodity sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity.
