UNSPSC 50414406: Organic split red lentils

The variety of organic lentils known as organic split red lentils

UNSPSC 50414406 Organic split red lentils (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code specifies a discrete agricultural commodity—organic split red lentils—yet the recent solicitations in the dataset target fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition initiatives, with no mention of lentils or legume products.

The sourcing pattern across 16 recent opportunities reflects institutional food service demand for fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and beverages serving student populations. Issuing bodies include school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, Austin Independent School District, Glynn County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Bulloch County School District, and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa), state education agencies (State of Georgia for institutional operations), and a cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative representing 30 Georgia school districts). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million per area (due March 4, 2026); Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivered five days weekly to 128 campuses across the San Antonio area (due May 7, 2026); and Early County Board of Education's line-item food bid covering 300+ produce items for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance (due June 8, 2026). These procurements emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, food safety traceability, and domestic product sourcing preferences. Lentils and legume commodities do not appear as line items or scope elements in any of the identified opportunities, indicating minimal alignment between the Commodity code and actual state and local purchasing patterns.
