UNSPSC 50414402: Organic french green lentils

The variety of organic lentils known as organic french green lentils

UNSPSC 50414402 Organic french green lentils is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual focus of recent state and local procurement under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce and institutional food service items — including fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and specialty produce for school nutrition programs — rather than legumes or organically certified products. State and local governments buying under this code seek fresh produce for child nutrition services, school lunch and breakfast programs, and farm-to-school initiatives, typically through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notices with firm delivery schedules and USDA compliance requirements.

Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county boards of education across multiple states. The most active recent buyers include Georgia school systems (Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, and Douglas County School System procuring cooperatively through GEC Buying Cooperative); Texas school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District); Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; and the State of Georgia departments. Recent opportunities span February through June 2026, with representative procurements including Early County Board of Education's line-item food bid (IFB PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs; Northside Independent School District's fresh produce RFP (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant delivery to all campuses; Hillsborough County Public Schools' USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program supply contract (RFP 26039RFQDST, due March 11, 2026) for specialty fruits and vegetables to 18 elementary schools; and Douglas County School System's cooperative buying RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. The code shows significant ongoing activity in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity in Missouri and other jurisdictions, driven by recurring annual school nutrition contracts tied to July–June fiscal cycles and federal child nutrition funding.
