UNSPSC 50484616: Lamb’s or mache lettuce purees

The variety of lettuce known as lamb's lettuces which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484616 Lamb's or mache lettuce purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for lamb's lettuce purees, mache lettuce purees, or lettuce-based products in any form. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly reflect broader fresh and frozen food procurement for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and health and human services facilities—encompassing canned tomatoes, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies rather than specialty vegetable purees. The code appears to be a mismatch with the actual work being solicited.

The recent activity across state and local food service procurement is concentrated in school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and regional buying cooperatives. Issuing bodies span Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due April 6, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products (bids due June 15, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools (bids due April 27, 2026). No solicitation activity supports the lamb's or mache lettuce puree commodity itself, signaling that this code either receives no active state and local demand or is incorrectly applied to these broader institutional food procurements.
