UNSPSC 50434506: Dried organic split red lentils

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

UNSPSC 50434506 Dried organic split red lentils is a Commodity code that covers bulk legume procurement for institutional food service, though the recent state and local opportunities solicited under or near this code span a broader range of dried beans and legume products rather than split red lentils specifically. State and local governments use this code family to source dried proteins for correctional facilities, child and adult care programs, educational institutions, and state-operated food-service operations. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state purchasing offices, city and county food-service programs, and specialized state agencies managing institutional meal programs. Solicitations typically specify USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning requirements to remove debris and foreign material, moisture-content limits, and compliance with FDA and Good Manufacturing Practice standards; delivery is on FOB Destination terms to central distribution centers or multiple warehouse locations, with product quantities ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of pounds and pricing on an all-inclusive basis incorporating freight and fuel surcharges.

Recent opportunities posted under related dried-bean categories show activity across Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140) with a due date of June 19, 2026, offering 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors; Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in increments of 880 bags (92100ERFQ0020612027) with a response deadline of October 9, 2026; the City of Edinburg, Texas, issued an RFP for CACFP meal program supplies including proteins and dried goods (RFP2026017) due August 4, 2026, applying a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Statewide Comptroller's office, solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (IFB 304T26300CF) with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026. The State of Oregon also posted a separate solicitation for dried black beans triple-cleaned (S2910000017140) due August 21, 2026. These opportunities indicate steady institutional demand, with responses typically submitted electronically through state procurement portals, pre-bid conferences or Q&A cycles common, and incumbent pricing available in some cases—notably, the Oregon ODOC paid $0.493 per pound for dried pinto and red beans from incumbent Intersect USA in August 2025.
