UNSPSC 50484602: Boston lettuce purees

The variety of lettuce known as boston lettuce which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484602 Boston lettuce purees, a Commodity code, represents fresh-vegetable purees and processed lettuce products sold to state and local institutional food-service operations — but recent state and local procurement activity under this specific code is minimal. The opportunities posted show that state agencies, counties, school districts, and correctional facilities procure a broad range of shelf-stable and fresh food products for cafeteria, canteen, nutrition, and food-service operations; however, none of the recent solicitations specifically name Boston lettuce purees as a line item or category. The representative opportunities instead show demand for canned and frozen vegetables, prepared proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous staple foods. When state and local food-service operations do source fresh produce or vegetable purees, they do so within larger consolidated food bids that enumerate dozens or hundreds of line items across multiple categories rather than through single-product procurements.

Geographic activity centers in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (serving state supported living centers), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (serving correctional facilities), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) posted the most recent high-volume food solicitations between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHS IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026, with 5% preference for Oregon-fabricated goods). School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County, Burke County) also solicited comprehensive grocery bids covering dozens of produce and protein categories for fiscal 2026–2027 nutrition programs. No recent opportunity specifically references Boston lettuce purees by name or as a distinct line item, signaling limited procurement activity under this code; vendors in fresh-vegetable or puree products seeking state and local sales should monitor consolidated institutional food bids and position products within broader sourcing relationships rather than expect standalone puree solicitations.
