UNSPSC 50474602: Canned or jarred organic boston lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50474602 Canned or jarred organic boston lettuce is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred produce for institutional food service — though recent solicitations under this code show minimal activity specifically for organic boston lettuce, instead reflecting broader food supply contracts for state agencies, county social services, school districts, and correctional facilities. The code sits within procurement activity dominated by large multi-item food bids where canned lettuce appears as one of dozens or hundreds of line items alongside proteins, dairy, frozen goods, condiments, and food service supplies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies operating state supported living centers and state hospitals, county purchasing offices handling senior services and community services, school districts procuring for nutrition programs across multiple schools, and state departments of corrections supplying prison facilities. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Comptroller's office) are among the repeat active buyers in the recent opportunities block.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), a comprehensive 210-line-item procurement with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services (due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), which received a prior award of $13.75 per case. Canned lettuce as a standalone line item does not appear in the detailed solicitation summaries provided; the code's activity reflects institutional demand for economical preserved produce in mixed food supply contracts using cooperative procurement frameworks and price-per-unit evaluation models, typically with delivery timelines of 30 to 72 hours and standing orders for facility food service or canteen operations.
