UNSPSC 50474609: Canned or jarred organic ruby romaine lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50474609 Canned or jarred organic ruby romaine lettuce is a Commodity code that currently shows little relevant recent activity—state and local procurement offices have posted no recent opportunities specifically requesting this product line. The opportunities tagged to this code in the source record canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, eggs, and broad-category food and consumables for institutional feeding (schools, corrections, veterans homes, and state health facilities), but none explicitly name organic ruby romaine lettuce or close equivalents. The code's nominal scope—pre-packaged organic salad greens in shelf-stable form—diverges from what recent state and local solicitations are actually buying, which centers on bulk staple proteins, frozen vegetables, canned goods, and fresh produce delivered on recurring schedules to cafeterias and institutional food service operations.

The issuing bodies pursuing food and consumable procurement across related codes span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, multiple Georgia county school systems), state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county school systems (Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Muscogee County in Georgia). Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables serving El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, requiring minimum three years of food delivery experience and delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens). Vendors pursuing state and local food procurement should monitor school nutrition programs and institutional food service RFPs and IFBs, but should not expect opportunities tagged specifically to organic packaged lettuce—the code appears inactive for this commodity.
