UNSPSC 50484604: Lolla rossa lettuce purees

The variety of lettuce known as lolla rossa lettuce which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484604 Lolla rossa lettuce purees (Commodity) does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code in practice. The recent opportunities tagged to this Commodity code cover broad food procurement for institutional feeding — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and senior living centers — encompassing hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared foods, not lettuce purees specifically. The issuing bodies are school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Veterans Home), and county systems. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its nominal scope; the mismatch between the Commodity definition and the institutional food-procurement activity flagged under it suggests either miscoding in the source data or a fundamental disconnect between UNSPSC taxonomy and the operational reality of how state and local agencies classify food-service contracts.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and regions. Texas leads activity with HHSC food and consumable procurements (HHS0017449, HHS0016792, HHS0016792V2) covering statewide state-supported living centers and hospitals, along with TDCJ cafeteria products (304T26300CF) for correctional facilities with an estimated $1.5 million historical value and multi-warehouse distribution across five geographic areas. Georgia school districts dominate the secondary tier — Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026), Burke County Public Schools (RFP PE55037NONST2027000000007, due June 5, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (IFB due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004, approximately $4.4 million Area One and $1.1 million Area Two; RFP 26-003, approximately $9 million). Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple commodity bids (canned tomatoes S2910000017145, tomato paste S2910000016089, canned tomatoes S2910000015837).
