UNSPSC 50474611: Canned or jarred organic butterhead lettuces

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic butterhead lettuces that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50474611 Canned or jarred organic butterhead lettuces (Commodity) does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities flagged with this UNSPSC code involve broad consumable food procurement — including canned proteins, vegetables, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies — for state facilities, county senior services, school nutrition programs, and correctional institutions. The code's narrow focus on organic butterhead lettuce in preserved form does not align with the scope of recent solicitations, which target shelf-stable staple foods and food service consumables in bulk quantities for institutional feeding operations. The mix of issuing bodies spans state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county nutrition programs (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and correctional and state-supported living facilities. Recent activity shows no meaningful concentration among repeat buyers, though Texas HHS Commission appears in multiple records seeking food and consumables for state-supported living centers.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary posting from Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables, due October 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (comprehensive food bid spanning fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and condiments for four schools, due June 15, 2026), and Oregon Department of Corrections S2910000017145 (approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for organic butterhead lettuce specifically; the UNSPSC assignment appears inconsistent with actual procurement scope at the commodity level.
