UNSPSC 50484613: Crisphead lettuce purees

The variety of lettuce known as crisphead lettuces which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484613 Crisphead lettuce purees is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh produce and produce-based food products for institutional dining and food service operations. State and local governments procure under this code primarily to supply food service programs at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services departments. The actual recent solicitations tagged to this code show a disconnect: the opportunities span institutional food procurement (canned vegetables, frozen proteins, dairy, condiments, and prepared foods for kitchens), but do not reference crisphead lettuce purees specifically. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies and state departments of corrections seeking consumable foods through IFBs, together with county school districts and county social services departments using IFBs and informal written quotes for broad grocery and food-service supply contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables at state-supported living centers, including HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, IFB due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB due July 13, 2026), both soliciting 20 line items of food products and food-service supplies with annual historical values in the $1.5 million range. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each posted competitive food bids spanning hundreds of line items for school nutrition programs. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned tomatoes procurement (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated bidder preferences applied. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted a large IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended due date May 4, 2026). This code shows recent activity but limited representation of crisphead lettuce purees specifically in the sourced opportunities.
