UNSPSC 50494515: Organic iceberg lettuce purees

The variety of organic lettuce known as organic iceberg lettuce which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50494515 Organic iceberg lettuce purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments procure food and consumable products under this code, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for lettuce purees or similar vegetable purees. Instead, the sourced opportunities span broad food procurement categories—fresh produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees—reflecting how state and local food service operations (primarily school districts, state health and human services agencies, and corrections departments) structure their purchasing. The actual buying patterns diverge significantly from the code's specific product definition, suggesting either sparse demand for this commodity specifically or potential misclassification in how jurisdictions tag their solicitations.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in school nutrition programs and state institutional food service across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) covering NIGP categories encompassing fresh, frozen, and prepared items under an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due April 6, 2026); the Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 requiring delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens; and the Rockwood R-VI School District's dual grocery procurements (net-off-invoice and grocery items, both due April 29, 2026) covering approximately 200 to 900 line items across multiple product categories. These solicitations reflect fixed-price, firm-term purchasing with wholesale pricing based on case quantities and USDA grading standards, delivered to central warehouses or multiple school sites on weekly or as-needed schedules. The code itself does not report decision-relevant signals for pursuing organic lettuce purees specifically—no recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB directly names this commodity.
