UNSPSC 50474600: Canned or jarred organic lettuces

The type of organic vegetable known as organic lettuces that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50474600 Canned or jarred organic lettuces, a Class code, does not appear in the recent state and local procurement activity reviewed. The recent opportunities tagged to this code or nearby canned vegetable categories involve canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and broad food service procurement for schools and state facilities, but none specifically solicit canned or jarred organic lettuces as a line item or primary scope element. The opportunities that do reference canned vegetables are oriented toward institutional food service — correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school nutrition programs — where bulk canned and processed items like tomatoes, condiments, and shelf-stable produce dominate procurement rather than specialty organic lettuce products. A school nutrition RFP may include hundreds of line items spanning proteins, grains, dairy, and produce, but canned lettuce does not emerge as a named requirement in any of the summaries reviewed.

State and local buyers in this category are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic spread includes Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Texas, and Oregon. Recent canned vegetable solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) and tomato paste (due March 9, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for approximately 382 food line items including canned vegetables (extended to May 4, 2026). The code as currently indexed does not reflect documented procurement activity for organic lettuce products in canned or jarred form at the state and local level during this period.
