UNSPSC 50434503: Dried organic green lentils

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

UNSPSC 50434503 Dried organic green lentils is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily as component ingredients in school meal programs and correctional facility foodservice operations, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for this specific commodity. Instead, the code's nominal scope diverges from recent state and local procurement activity: the most recent opportunities cite dried pinto beans, red beans, and broad-based fresh produce and grocery items for K-12 schools, county school districts, and state corrections departments, but none explicitly name dried organic green lentils as a line item or requirement.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia, with school districts and state agencies (TDCJ, ODOC) as primary buyers. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five distribution regions (due May 4, 2026), the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering 45 schools plus distribution kitchens in Northern Virginia, the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITBs for dried pinto and red beans totaling approximately 170,000 pounds across two solicitations (bids due March 20 and June 19, 2026), and the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items procurement (IFB due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items for a 6,900-student district. School districts sourcing through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative (serving 30 Georgia districts with estimated fresh produce and egg spending of $5.5 million annually) are active in this market. However, dried organic green lentils do not appear as a named commodity in any of the recent postings, suggesting either thin current demand for this specific item or potential miscoding in state procurement systems.
