UNSPSC 50484613: Crisphead lettuce purees

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

UNSPSC 50484613 Crisphead lettuce purees (Commodity) does not appear in the recent state and local procurement activity shown. The code's nominal scope—pureed lettuce products—does not match the work actually being solicited under related food procurement opportunities in the source material. Recent solicitations tagged to this and adjacent codes overwhelmingly address fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy products, and institutional food supply chains serving schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and other public institutions, but none of the representative opportunities—from the Illinois Veterans Home food orders to Texas HHSC supplemental foods to Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato and tomato paste buys to school nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia—reference lettuce purees or similar processed vegetable products. The mismatch between the code's specific commodity name and the actual scope of food procurement activity suggests this code sees little relevant market activity or that state and local buying for this product line is negligible or misclassified in current solicitation records.

Institutions soliciting food products under adjacent UNSPSC codes span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia Department of State Health Services), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Burke County Public Schools, and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia; Muscogee County School District in Georgia), and counties (Douglas County Schools cooperative). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs and state-operated facilities dominating the issuing bodies. Opportunities are typically issued as IFBs or RFPs with response dates spanning February through June 2026, covering annual contract periods from July through June of the following fiscal year, with firm fixed pricing or cost-plus arrangements tied to third-party indices such as USDA market reports, the Consumer Price Index, or Urner Barry commodity pricing.
