UNSPSC 50484605: Mesculin mix lettuce purees

The variety of lettuce known as mesculin mix lettuce which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484605 Mesculin mix lettuce purees is a Commodity code that describes fresh or prepared leafy-greens products, but the recent solicitation activity under this code shows little actual demand for mesculin mix purees specifically. Instead, state and local governments soliciting under related food-service codes are buying large volumes of shelf-stable prepared foods, canned and frozen proteins, dairy products, fresh produce, and food-service consumables to supply institutional cafeterias, state supported living centers, corrections facilities, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and Department of Criminal Justice, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), and the State of Illinois, representing a mix of state agencies, county governments, and school districts. Work centers on multi-line-item food procurement bids—typically 200 to 400 line items spanning proteins, dairy, frozen and canned vegetables, grains, condiments, and food-service supplies—purchased through IFBs and informal written quotes with response dates compressed into 7 to 30 days.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's informal written quote IWQ 140229 for shelf-stable food items (35 line items, quotes due October 19, 2026), and the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumable products serving state health facilities statewide, with a historical annual spend of $1.5 million and bids due July 13, 2026). Geographic activity clusters in Texas (HHSC and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with periodic Illinois and other state activity. The code itself shows minimal recent activity tied directly to mesculin mix purees or leafy-green purees; sourcing professionals should verify whether this commodity code accurately tags institutional food procurement in their target jurisdictions or whether buyers use broader food-product codes for multi-category institutional feeding contracts.
