UNSPSC 50474605: Canned or jarred organic mesculin mix lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50474605 Canned or jarred organic mesculin mix lettuce is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy as part of broader food procurement operations for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show the code attracts minimal standalone demand — the composite opportunities posted since May 2026 are dominated by general consumables, shelf-stable proteins, frozen vegetables, canned goods, and prepared foods rather than specialty fresh or organic produce categories. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), Oregon state agencies (Department of Corrections), Georgia counties and school districts (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and Illinois state operations. The Texas health and human services institutions appear as repeat buyers, issuing multiple IFBs for consumables and food products across state supported living centers and state hospitals.

Geographic spread spans Texas (with concentration in state-level institutional food contracts), Georgia (county and school district nutrition programs), Oregon (state corrections), and Illinois (state operations). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026) and Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, due October 19, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools solicited comprehensive school nutrition food under IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026). The Texas Comptroller issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for TDCJ cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (extended to May 4, 2026). Organic produce categories do not appear prominently in these recent solicitations; activity under the code itself remains limited relative to broader consumables and commodity food procurement.
