UNSPSC 50474623: Canned or jarred organic tatsoi lettuce

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

UNSPSC 50474623 Canned or jarred organic tatsoi lettuce is a Commodity code representing specialty produce items state and local governments buy for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this code is sparse and does not reflect the specific organic-tatsoi product line. The code sees episodic purchasing by state health agencies, state correctional departments, school districts, and county social-services departments acquiring shelf-stable food products for cafeteria, canteen, and patient-care operations. Work solicited under the code encompasses bulk procurement of prepared and shelf-stable foods—canned vegetables, proteins, condiments, breakfast items, and related food-service consumables—typically bundled into large line-item solicitations serving multiple facilities or campuses annually. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of commissioners, school nutrition programs, and independent school districts, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple fiscal-year cycles. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and state agencies in Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Georgia constitute the visible buyer base, though the actual volume of organic-tatsoi-specific procurement cannot be determined from available solicitation records.

Recent activity spans Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting the most frequent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods, bids due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026, with 5 percent Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (comprehensive school food bid with Buy American Act requirements, bids due June 15, 2026). The solicitation record does not show dedicated procurement of organic tatsoi lettuce as a distinct line item or specify volume under this specific commodity code; most opportunities pursue canned vegetables, proteins, and prepared foods generically with brand-or-equivalent flexibility rather than single-variety specialty-produce specifications.
