UNSPSC 50404506: Split red lentils

The variety of lentils known as split red lentils

UNSPSC 50404506 Split red lentils is a Commodity code, but the source shows no recent state or local procurement activity for split red lentils specifically. The recent opportunities block contains nineteen records spanning fresh produce (carrots, white and sweet potatoes, apples, bananas, berries, lettuce, broccoli, onions, tomatoes, and other produce), frozen and canned goods, dairy, proteins, beverages, grains, and institutional food service items — none of which involves split red lentils or legume-based procurement. A single record identifies carrots as the line item (TDCJ IW241979-A for 1,200 tons), another names white potatoes for TDCJ canning operations, and a third covers sweet potatoes for TDCJ canning, yet none of these solicitations target split red lentils or dry pulses. The code does not align with the institutional and school nutrition procurement activity documented in the source.

School districts, county boards of education, state departments of criminal justice, and regional cooperative purchasing entities across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut dominate the recent opportunities, but their focus is fresh produce delivery, protein procurement, and commodity food service supplies — not specialty legumes. Without evidence of split red lentil procurement in the posted opportunities, the code shows no current market signal or active demand cycle among state and local buyers. To assess viability, verify whether lentil procurement appears under alternative UNSPSC codes or emerges through commodity food service vehicle contracts that bundle diverse grocery categories.
