UNSPSC 50484620: Red headed lettuce purees

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

UNSPSC 50484620 Red headed lettuce purees (Commodity) covers shelf-stable and refrigerated food products for institutional food service, though the recent solicitation activity under this code shows little direct demand for red-headed lettuce purees specifically. State and local governments procuring under the code are primarily acquiring broad categories of consumable food items—canned vegetables, frozen produce, dairy, proteins, condiments, grains, and food service supplies—through institutional food service contracts at state agencies, county governments, and school districts. The issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple state supported living centers and state hospitals), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), and several school districts across Georgia (Gwinnett County Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Illinois. Work solicited under the code encompasses annual or multi-year food supply agreements with line-item pricing, firm fixed rates indexed to inflation or commodity indices where permitted, delivery to institutional distribution centers or multi-site school facilities, and compliance with USDA grade standards, FDA regulations, HACCP plans, and Buy American Act requirements where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026; due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery within seven days of order; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026; due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026; due June 19, 2026) with an Oregon-resident or Oregon-fabricated-goods preference; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF (posted May 4, 2026; due May 4, 2026, extended to May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouses; and Burke County Public Schools' food bid (posted May 11, 2026; due May 26, 2026 for questions, June 5, 2026 for sealed bids) for nearly 400 line items across five schools for fiscal year 2026–2027. The code sees active procurement but does not surface specialized demand for red-headed lettuce purees as a line-item commodity.
