UNSPSC 50484603: Frisee lettuce purees

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

UNSPSC 50484603 Frisee lettuce purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely procure as a standalone line item; recent activity shows the code tagged to broad food-service solicitations where lettuce purees do not appear as specified products. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and multiple school districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia have posted RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for food supply during the past six months, but none of these opportunities explicitly name frisee lettuce purees as a requirement. The code appears to be a taxonomic artifact—assigned by procurement systems to general food contracts that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items (canned tomatoes, frozen produce, dairy, proteins, condiments, and prepared foods) without reflecting actual product demand at the commodity level.

State and local food procurement under nominally related codes clusters heavily among school nutrition programs, state institutions (correctional facilities, veterans homes, health and human services facilities), and state supported living centers. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix: Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) posted major grocery and produce RFPs and IFBs in recent months, typically with response dates between April and June 2026 and contract terms running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Institutional food service procurement also appears regularly—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017449 and HHS0016792), Oregon Department of Corrections (S2910000016089, S2910000015837, S2910000016405), and Illinois Veterans Home (26497DVAQUINCB51106 and 27497DVAQUINCB52821) issued RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs during the same period. Geographic concentration is strong in Georgia (school districts in multiple counties), Texas (state institutions), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood district), and Illinois (veterans home). No recent state and local solicitation under this code explicitly specifies frisee lettuce purees as a commodity; vendors pursuing state and local food-service work should monitor broader grocery, produce, and institutional food supply codes rather than this specific commodity designation.
