UNSPSC 50484602: Boston lettuce purees

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

UNSPSC 50484602 Boston lettuce purees is a Commodity code that captures vegetable and fruit concentrate procurement by state and local governments, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows minimal match to the nominal product scope. State and local issuing bodies soliciting food supply across the recent opportunities block—including state departments, county and city school districts, corrections departments, and state health and human services agencies—predominantly procure broad food service categories such as fresh produce, canned vegetables, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods, rather than specialized purees or concentrates. When school districts, state correctional facilities, and health and human services commissions post food solicitations, they typically request multiple product lines spanning fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable items with detailed USDA grade and nutritional specifications, Buy American compliance, and firm fixed pricing for contract periods running July through June. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the most recent opportunities in the block reference tomato paste (S2910000016089), canned tomatoes (S2910000015837 and S2910000017145), and generic food supply across multiple categories, none of which are Boston lettuce purees or vegetable purees as a standalone line item.

Geographic activity spans Oregon (ODOC procurement), Texas (HHSC state hospitals and supported living centers), Georgia (school districts in Douglas, Muscogee, Liberty, and Savannah-Chatham counties), Illinois (Veterans Home in Quincy), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Georgia statewide. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with responses due July 13, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 with sealed bids due April 27, 2026. School nutrition programs and state facility food services represent the primary buying pattern, with weekly or regular delivery schedules, multi-line-item specifications, and contract periods aligned to fiscal or academic years. The code does not show active procurement demand for Boston lettuce purees specifically; vendors should verify whether state and local customers are sourcing this commodity under alternate UNSPSC codes or consolidating puree requirements within broader vegetable or food service contracts.
