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

UNSPSC 50494517 Organic looseleaf lettuce purees is a Commodity code that encompasses perishable and shelf-stable food products for institutional foodservice operations, though the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reflect a broader food procurement landscape dominated by fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and canned goods rather than lettuce purees specifically. State and local governments buying under this code range across multiple issuing-body types: state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission), state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county school districts and public schools (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Gwinnett County), and specialized facilities including state supported living centers and institutional cafeterias. The Texas HHS Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for consumable foods supporting state supported living centers and hospitals statewide.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas and Georgia, with additional procurement in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for consumables including prepared foods and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) with 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) covering fresh, frozen, and canned produce, proteins, and dairy across multiple school locations under Buy American Act requirements.
