UNSPSC 50474612: Canned or jarred organic chinese lettuces

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

UNSPSC 50474612 Canned or jarred organic Chinese lettuces (Commodity) rarely appears in recent state and local procurement activity, despite the code's specificity. State and local governments purchase shelf-stable food products for institutional feeding—schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers—but the code itself does not align with what is actually being solicited. Recent opportunities tagged under related food codes show procurement of bulk canned vegetables (including tomatoes, beans, and mixed items), frozen and fresh produce, proteins, and consumables for large-scale food service operations, but the available records show no recent state or local solicitation specifically for canned or jarred organic Chinese lettuces. One Oregon Department of Corrections IFB from June 2026 solicited canned tomatoes; Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for supplemental and consumable food products across state hospitals and supported living centers; and Georgia and Georgia school districts (including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools) solicited comprehensive food bids encompassing dozens of line items across multiple categories. None of these opportunities explicitly named canned or jarred organic Chinese lettuces as a line item.

The buying profile under this code's broader family—institutional food service for state departments, county and school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities—spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent activity, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing as a repeat buyer of bulk consumable foods for state-operated facilities. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with scattered activity in Oregon. If canned or jarred organic Chinese lettuces appear in state and local procurement, they do so as minor line items buried within large comprehensive food bids that do not call out organic specialty items at the commodity level. No recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB explicitly targets this product category, suggesting that pursuit under this specific code would require discovery within broader institutional food service solicitations.
