UNSPSC 50474620: Canned or jarred organic red headed lettuces

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic red headed lettuces that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50474620 Canned or jarred organic red headed lettuces is a Commodity code that in practice sees little recent state and local procurement activity under its literal scope. The opportunities posted under this code do not reflect a pattern of demand for canned or jarred organic lettuces specifically; instead, state and local solicitations broadly tagged to food procurement codes are requesting bundled consumables including prepared foods, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, dry goods, and food service supplies for institutional cafeterias, food service operations at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services. When organic lettuces do appear in posted solicitations, they surface within broader multi-item food bids rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners and schools, independent school districts, and state comptroller procurement divisions—a wide range of institutional food service operators. The geographic spread includes Texas (multiple Health and Human Services Commission solicitations for state-supported living centers and state hospitals), Georgia (county schools and state procurement), and Oregon (Department of Corrections).

Recent representative solicitations under related food codes show the scale and scope: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a potential three-year contract value of $4.5 million covering 210 line items; the Oregon Department of Corrections requested 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026, with the prior February purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia sought sealed bids for nearly 400 food line items across five schools for the 2026-2027 school year due June 5, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia requested comprehensive food procurement including fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, and supplies with Buy American requirements and delivery to four school sites, bids due June 15, 2026. The code itself shows minimal standalone activity—a search for dedicated organic red headed lettuce procurement yields no current open solicitations with that specific focus, signaling that this Commodity tier is either not actively procured as a standalone item or is being purchased under broader vegetable or produce family codes rather than this specific commodity classification.
