UNSPSC 50474622: Canned or jarred organic russian red mustard lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50474622 Canned or jarred organic russian red mustard lettuce is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally identifies a single specialty produce item, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code are instead broad-spectrum food procurement for institutional food service — cafeterias, school nutrition programs, state facilities, and correctional institutions buying dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, frozen entrees, fresh produce, canned goods, and consumable supplies. The issuing bodies are state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for TDCJ, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and state agencies managing supported living centers and hospitals. The code shows no recent activity that actually targets canned or jarred organic mustard lettuce specifically; instead, state and local buyers are using this code classification to solicit general food and consumables.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is a repeat buyer, posting multiple IFBs for consumables and food products supplying state supported living centers and hospitals — HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, consumable foods and supplies, IFB due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017872 (FY27 consumables and food items, IFB, August 2026) — with a prior contract value of $1.5 million annually and a potential three-year value of $4.5 million across the agency's statewide network. The Texas Comptroller issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across TDCJ warehouse distribution points (382 line items, May 2026). In Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited shelf-stable food items via IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases, quotes due October 19, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools posted a comprehensive food bid (hundreds of line items across multiple categories, sealed bids due June 15, 2026) with delivery to four school sites. Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia sought nearly 400 line items for five schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato bid for 7,616 cases (approximately 40,000 pounds, bids due June 19, 2026, prior purchase at $13.75 per case). The State of Illinois solicited a quarterly weekly food order under FY-27 IVHQ (bids due June 26, 2026). Geographic spread encompasses the South (Texas and Georgia) as the primary activity center, with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and Illinois. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal commodity description.
