UNSPSC 50424505: Dried spanish pardina lentils

The variety of lentils known as spanish pardina lentils that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424505 Dried spanish pardina lentils is a Commodity code that encompasses dried legume procurement for institutional food service, institutional purchasing, and school nutrition programs. Recent state and local activity shows minimal direct solicitation for this specific dried lentil variety; the code appears narrowly tailored to a single legume type that does not surface frequently in posted procurement opportunities. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly involve broader dried-bean and fresh-produce procurement for state corrections systems, school districts, and county food service operations—contexts where legumes appear as one line item among dozens rather than as a primary procurement focus. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple school districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Virginia have posted solicitations for cafeteria food products, fresh produce, and dried beans, but these solicitations emphasize pinto beans, red beans, and fresh vegetables rather than dried Spanish pardina lentils specifically. The code appears to reflect a specialized product classification that does not generate sustained procurement demand at the state and local level.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia based on the recent opportunities identified. The City of Edinburg, Texas issued RFP 2026-017 (Child and Adult Care Food Program, due August 4, 2026) encompassing five supply categories including food products; the Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S-29100-00016233 for dried pinto and red beans (due March 20, 2026, approximately 127,500 pounds at the prior award rate of $0.43 per pound); and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The State of Illinois solicited a quarterly food order (due June 26, 2026); the State of Georgia issued multiple fresh-produce and food-supply RFPs; and the Texas Comptroller procured cafeteria food products on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026, covering 382 line items across five distribution areas). No recent opportunities specifically name dried Spanish pardina lentils as a line item or primary procurement target, suggesting the code sees limited active pursuit at the state and local level.
