UNSPSC 50474621: Canned or jarred organic romaine lettuces

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

UNSPSC 50474621 Canned or jarred organic romaine lettuces (Commodity) does not see meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes packaged organic salad greens, but the recent opportunities tagged under it instead reflect broad food-service consumables procurement for state facilities, school districts, and correctional institutions—spanning proteins, frozen entrees, canned vegetables, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies with no focus on organic romaine lettuce or any organic products specifically. The issuing bodies are state health and human services departments, county governments, school nutrition programs, and state correctional agencies; state agencies dominate the recent record, particularly Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Oregon Department of Corrections, alongside school districts in Georgia.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on the recent opportunities; Texas leads with multiple solicitations from HHSC for state supported living centers and TDCJ facilities, while Georgia schools (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Gwinnett County (food items for senior services) show secondary activity. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (October 23, 2026 response date, consumable foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies) and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (June 19, 2026 response date, IFB S2910000017145). The code shows no direct procurement of organic romaine lettuce or other organic produce lines; a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity suggests this Commodity code warrants closer examination or reclassification in the state and local taxonomy.
