UNSPSC 50474604: Canned or jarred organic lolla rossa lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50474604 Canned or jarred organic lolla rossa lettuce is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest level of the taxonomy; in practice, state and local governments buy shelf-stable produce and food-service consumables under this code as part of much broader food-service and institutional procurement. The recent opportunities do not show active solicitation of organic lolla rossa lettuce specifically. Instead, the code tags appear in large multi-item food and consumables RFPs and IFBs issued by state health and human services agencies, school districts, and corrections departments—procurement offices that consolidate dozens or hundreds of line items (canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, paper goods, food-service supplies) into single omnibus bids. The issuing bodies are typically state-level agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), county nutrition programs (Gwinnett County), and school districts (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Ben Hill Public Schools in Georgia). The work is almost never category-specific; organic produce items, when present, are typically one or two SKUs buried in line items numbered in the hundreds.

Recent activity spans Texas (Health and Human Services Commission state-supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso; Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse procurement), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and Oregon (Department of Corrections canned-goods procurement), with a single Illinois food-order solicitation. Representative bids include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-year value $1.5 million), and Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, previous purchase price $13.75 per case). The Ben Hill County Schools food bid (due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools nutrition procurement (due June 5, 2026) illustrate school-district-level demand. None of these solicitations isolate organic or specialty produce as standalone requirements; vendors responding to these opportunities typically source commodity produce from food-service distributors alongside hundreds of other items, making this specific code's activity difficult to distinguish from the broader food-service and institutional-dining market.
