UNSPSC 50424507: Dried split yellow lentils

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

UNSPSC 50424507 Dried split yellow lentils is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure dried split yellow lentils primarily through food-service contracts supporting school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care operations. The code appears rarely in active procurement, with recent solicitations showing minimal direct demand for this specific commodity; instead, state and local buyers tend to solicit broader dried-bean categories (pinto and red beans, for example) or comprehensive grocery bundles that may include lentils as line items among hundreds of food products rather than as standalone procurements.

The issuing-body mix spans state correctional departments, school districts, county school systems, municipal child-care programs, and multi-district cooperative-purchasing vehicles. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted solicitations for dried pinto and red beans, and Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County issued a grocery-items RFP encompassing over 900 line items. Geographically, recent activity concentrates in Texas (Edinburg, TDCJ), Oregon (ODOC), Georgia (multiple school districts and state agencies), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Missouri (Rockwood), with procurement also documented in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016233 for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans due March 20, 2026, and the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across multiple food categories due May 4, 2026. The code itself shows limited standalone demand; dried lentils appear only as embedded items within larger multi-category food procurements rather than as dedicated solicitations.
