UNSPSC 50594616: Dried Non GMO lamb’s or mache lettuce

The variety of Non GMO lettuce known as Non GMO lamb's lettuces that have been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50594616 Dried Non GMO lamb's or mache lettuce is a Commodity code. State and local governments are soliciting fresh and processed produce through this taxonomy, but the recent opportunity block shows minimal activity directly tied to dried lettuces. The City of Bridgeport's grocery bid (BNB052266) spans over 1,100 line items including vegetables and leafy greens for school nutrition; Hancock County Schools' produce IFB encompasses leafy greens among 200+ fresh-produce items; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products bid (HHS0017449) covers produce for a state-supported living center. These solicitations frame the code's practical scope as institutional procurement of produce ingredients meeting USDA Buy American Provision thresholds (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and HACCP food-safety requirements. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies purchasing for institutional food service, with occasional county government and municipal participation.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Mississippi. The Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery contract (due June 30, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) represent school-district procurement, while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's El Paso State Supported Living Center supply contract (due July 13, 2026) and Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services bid ($17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026) show state and county institutional food-service activity. A Georgia state-level solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026) and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District's summer packaged-meal-box bid (due April 29, 2026) complete the geographic picture. The code shows modest recent activity, with emphasis on aggregated institutional produce purchasing rather than specialty dried-lettuce procurement; vendors should expect competitive bids driven by price, food-safety compliance, and capacity to serve multiple school or facility locations.
