UNSPSC 50424506: Dried split red lentils

The variety of lentils known as split red lentils that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424506 Dried split red lentils is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under it shows minimal recent volume. The single identified opportunity in the source block does not match the code's nominal scope — Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans (a different legume) via RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026, with deliveries required in increments of 880 bags on an all-inclusive, FOB basis. The remaining four opportunities posted in the June–August 2026 window identify dried black beans, dried pinto and red beans, and generalized food and kitchen products from Oregon and Georgia state agencies, Texas correctional and procurement authorities, and Illinois state operations; none explicitly reference split red lentils. The code shows little recent relevant activity under its stated commodity definition.

State and local procurement offices in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois are actively soliciting dried legumes for institutional meal programs serving correctional facilities, state educational institutions, and child care programs, but the sourcing pattern reflects commodity-level variation rather than split-red-lentil demand specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections sought 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026) with a 10% Oregon-origin and headquarters preference and historical pricing of $0.493 per pound; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a multi-line cafeteria food products IFB covering proteins, dairy, grains, and vegetables across five geographic warehouse areas (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026); and the City of Edinburg, Texas, requested CACFP meal-program supplies including beverages, proteins, fruits, and vegetables for approximately 400 children daily (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) with Texas local-vendor preference applied. Bidders pursuing this code should verify actual customer demand for split red lentils specifically, as recent state and local solicitation volume under the code's precise commodity definition remains below the activity threshold for other dried-legume purchases.
