UNSPSC 50484621: Romaine lettuce purees

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

UNSPSC 50484621 Romaine lettuce purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains sixteen food-service solicitations from state agencies, county governments, and school districts, but none of them name romaine lettuce purees specifically or at any higher level of aggregation. The Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food order (RFQ, due February 24, 2026, and June 26, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission supplemental food procurement (IFB, due July 13, 2026) mention produce in general terms without isolating lettuce products or purees. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicitations cover canned tomatoes and tomato paste (ITBs, due February 9, 2026, and March 9, 2026), neither of which are lettuce-based. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas are soliciting fresh produce, canned goods, and grocery items broadly—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB, due June 15, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District (IFB, due April 29, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB, due April 27, 2026), and Liberty County Board of Education (IFB, due April 29, 2026)—but the available summaries do not isolate romaine lettuce purees as a line item or as a notable product category within those procurements.

State and local procurement under this code does not show material recent activity. The food-service market for state institutions, corrections departments, and K-12 nutrition programs is active across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia with regular quarterly and annual refresh cycles, but the sourcing patterns evident in these opportunities center on bulk fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy, canned goods, and prepared entrees rather than on lettuce-based purees. Vendors pursuing this code should validate whether state and local purchasing offices actually tag lettuce purees under this UNSPSC number in practice, or whether the code represents a mismatch between taxonomy and procurement reality in this segment.
