UNSPSC 50474603: Canned or jarred organic frisee lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50474603 Canned or jarred organic frisee lettuce is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable packaged produce and vegetable products for institutional food service. The recent solicitation activity shows no direct procurement of organic frisee lettuce specifically; rather, state and local bodies are buying broad categories of canned and packaged food products for canteens, cafeterias, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, county school districts, and municipal/county purchasing divisions. Texas agencies—particularly the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procuring through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division—dominate the recent activity, with Georgia (county school districts and counties), and Oregon (state corrections) also present. The work involves competitive bidding (IFB, RFQ, informal written quotes) for multi-line-item food supply contracts that typically include dozens to hundreds of food SKUs alongside paper goods, containers, and food service supplies, with responses due in weeks or days and delivery to be made within 7 to 72 hours of order receipt.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 13, 2026; prior period historical value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026; prior purchase $13.75 per case), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (bids due May 4, 2026; approximately 382 line items), the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive food bid covering multiple schools (bids due June 15, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools IFB for school nutrition food across five schools (bids due June 5, 2026). The code shows no recent activity with significant concentration; activity is spread across multiple states and issuing body types, with Texas and Georgia school districts and state agencies driving the largest volume of recent posting activity.
