UNSPSC 50484600: Lettuce purees

The type of vegetable known as lettuces which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484600 Lettuce purees is a Class code that appears to see minimal direct procurement activity under state and local contracts based on recent solicitation patterns. The source material contains no opportunities specifically soliciting lettuce purees, though the code sits within a broader food-procurement environment where state agencies, school districts, and correction departments regularly buy fresh produce, canned vegetables, and prepared food items. The recent opportunities block shows extensive activity in fresh produce, canned goods, and general grocery procurement across multiple states and issuing bodies, but none explicitly target lettuce purees as a line item. When lettuce purees do appear in state and local foodservice procurement, they are typically bundled within larger fresh-produce or prepared-food contracts rather than solicited as standalone commodities.

Activity under related food codes—particularly fresh produce, canned vegetables, and foodservice supplies—concentrates heavily among school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), and county school systems (Douglas County School System in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia). Recent lettuce-adjacent procurement occurs across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs representing the largest buyer segment. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (response due July 13, 2026) serving state-supported living centers, the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution (proposals due February 18, 2026) supporting 32 schools with approximately 25.5 million dollars in annual expenditure, and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (bids due April 27, 2026) covering weekly deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. Activity in this commodity class is steady but not concentrated—lettuce purees themselves remain a secondary item within larger food baskets, making standalone pursuit of the code unlikely to yield volume.
