UNSPSC 50484608: Red oak leaf lettuce purees

The variety of lettuce known as red oak leaf lettuce which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484608 Red oak leaf lettuce purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect purchases of red oak leaf lettuce purees. Instead, issuing bodies are acquiring shelf-stable and prepared food products—canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, frozen entrees, fresh produce, bakery items, and associated food service supplies—to support institutional foodservice operations at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, county senior services, and state hospitals. The scope reflects broad institutional food procurement rather than the specific commodity the code nominally names. State and local buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state-supported living centers and hospitals), the Oregon Department of Corrections, school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Gwinnett County (Georgia), and the State of Illinois. Texas and Georgia account for the largest visible concentration of recent activity, with Oregon and Illinois also posting opportunities.

Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026; due October 23, 2026) for 22 line items of consumable foods and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026; due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services; and the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026; due July 11, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with historical annual value around $1.5 million and initial contract term September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned tomato bid (S2910000017145, June 5, 2026; due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases with Oregon resident and Oregon-processed-goods preferences. School nutrition programs frequently appear as issuing bodies, typically with Buy American Act requirements, HACCP compliance mandates, and delivery across multiple school sites. The code shows active, recurring procurement across multiple issuing-body types and states, though the activity does not align closely with red oak leaf lettuce purees specifically.
