UNSPSC 50434505: Dried organic spanish pardina lentils

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

UNSPSC 50434505 Dried organic spanish pardina lentils, a Commodity code, sits at the intersection of institutional food procurement where state and local governments buy dried legumes for correctional facilities, child care programs, schools, and other public meal-service operations. The recent solicitations under this code reveal a broader pattern of dried-bean and legume procurement for bulk institutional cooking—the opportunities show Georgia Correctional Industries requesting kidney beans, Oregon Department of Corrections seeking pinto and red beans, and the State of Oregon procuring triple-cleaned black beans, all specified for food-service volume and delivery to central distribution points. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments (corrections, education, health agencies), city governments managing child and adult care food programs, and state purchasing offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies or institutional customers. Specifications consistently require USDA grading compliance, triple-cleaning or equivalent contaminant removal, palletized delivery, bulk quantities measured in tens of thousands of pounds, and all-inclusive pricing that absorbs freight and fuel surcharges.

Activity concentrates in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois, with recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections (S2910000017140) seeking approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026, evaluated at lowest total price with a combined 10% preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered vendors and a 45-day delivery window to Salem; the State of Oregon (S2910000017705) requesting triple-cleaned black beans with bids due August 21, 2026, for institutional use; Georgia Correctional Industries (92100ERFQ0020612027) posting an RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with responses due October 9, 2026; and the City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP2026017) soliciting food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving approximately 400 children with local-vendor preference under Texas Government Code Section 271.9051. Responses typically span 7–30 days from posting, with FOB destination delivery, shelf-life minimums of one year, FDA and HACCP compliance required, and historical pricing in the range of $0.49 per pound for dried beans.
