UNSPSC 50434502: Dried organic french green lentils

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

UNSPSC 50434502 Dried organic french green lentils is a Commodity code that in practice covers institutional dried legume procurement—dried beans and lentils for bulk meal preparation in correctional facilities, school food programs, and state agency kitchens. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and related legumes in quantities ranging from hundreds of bags to tens of thousands of pounds, typically specified to USDA grade standards with triple-cleaning and strict contaminant thresholds. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and procurement offices, state agencies managing institutional food service, city food programs operating under federal child and adult care food program (CACFP) guidelines, and state purchasing divisions coordinating multi-agency buys. Georgia Correctional Industries and the Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat institutional buyers in the recent record.

Activity is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation incentive and historical pricing of $0.493 per pound (IFB S2910000017705, posted June 5, 2026). The State of Oregon requested bids on dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026 (solicitation S2910000017140). Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags, due October 9, 2026, requiring all-inclusive pricing with no separate freight reimbursement (solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, posted October 2, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, incorporated dried beans within a broader CACFP meal-program RFP due August 4, 2026, serving approximately 400 children daily with a 5% local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Illinois and additional Georgia solicitations round out the recent pipeline but with limited detail in the public record.
