UNSPSC 50434501: Dried organic beluga lentils

The variety of organic lentils known as organic beluga lentils that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434501 Dried organic beluga lentils is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The source shows no recent state or local solicitations for dried organic beluga lentils specifically; the code does not appear to match the work actually being bought in recent opportunities.

The recent opportunities in the source tag this and related codes—including dried pinto beans, fresh produce, cafeteria food products, and bulk grocery supplies—under procurement for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and child care food services. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate solicitations for dried pinto and red beans (approximately 42,500 pounds in June 2026 and 127,500 pounds in March 2026), with triple-cleaned U.S. No. 2 grade standards and FOB destination delivery to Salem. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (May 2026, IFB 304T-26-300CF), encompassing 382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and canned goods with USDA grade requirements. School districts in Missouri, Georgia, Virginia, and Texas solicited master grocery contracts and fresh produce directly to school sites, with Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) seeking over 900 line items for 2026–27 (April 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) requesting weekly deliveries to 45 schools and a central warehouse (April 2026, IFB 2000004323), and the City of Edinburg, Texas, posting an RFP for CACFP meal program supplies serving 400 children daily (August 4, 2026 response deadline). The Douglas County School System in Georgia coordinated procurement through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (March 4, 2026 deadline, estimated $5.5 million annually) and food supply and distribution services for approximately 32,000 daily meals (February 18, 2026 deadline, estimated $9 million annually).

The commodity code itself does not reflect current purchasing patterns. State and local procurement under bulk dried legume categories spans corrections, school nutrition, and institutional food service, with primary buyers in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia. Opportunities target standard-grade dried beans, pinto and red varieties at commodity scale, not specialty organics. Vendors bidding dried legumes to state or local food service typically compete on unit price, USDA grade compliance, delivery logistics, and shelf-life certification rather than organic certification. If your firm supplies dried beluga lentils specifically, activity under this code appears limited; entry may be stronger through fresh produce or master grocery solicitations that include mixed legume categories.
