UNSPSC 50464623: Canned or jarred tatsoi lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50464623 Canned or jarred tatsoi lettuce is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as a specialized produce item within broader food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations specifically for tatsoi lettuce itself. Instead, the recent opportunities predominantly reflect canned and fresh produce procurement across multiple categories—canned tomatoes, fresh produce assortments, and comprehensive grocery line items—by school districts, state health and human services agencies, and state correctional departments. State and local buyers in this tier typically source through food service RFPs and IFBs that consolidate dozens to hundreds of line items rather than soliciting single specialty produce SKUs in isolation. The issuing bodies span school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC for state-supported living centers and state hospitals), state correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas TDCJ), and Illinois Veterans Homes, with school districts representing the densest buyer concentration in this commodity family.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with significant recent solicitations posted from Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and the State of Georgia), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections for canned tomatoes), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Illinois (State of Illinois IVHQ in Quincy), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC procurement (HHS0017449, IFB, due Jul 13, 2026) soliciting food and consumable products for state-supported living centers with historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior twelve-month period; the Oregon Department of Corrections bid (S2910000017145, ITB, due Jun 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at approximately $13.75 per case from prior purchase; and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due Apr 27, 2026) providing grocery supply to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with firm pricing FOB Destination. Canned or jarred specialty vegetables such as tatsoi lettuce typically appear as line items within these broad solicitations rather than as standalone procurements, making visibility into tatsoi-specific demand difficult from posted notices alone.
