UNSPSC 50444502: Frozen french green lentils

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

UNSPSC 50444502 Frozen french green lentils is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of recent state and local procurement activity under this classification. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for frozen french green lentils, and the code shows little relevant recent activity. The opportunities posted under or near this code span a much broader basket of food products—shelf-stable groceries, frozen vegetables, meats, cereals, dairy, proteins, and consumable supplies—procured by school districts, corrections departments, state supported living centers, and county social services agencies. The UNSPSC code name does not map to the work actually being solicited.

State and local buyers posting under food-related codes are issuing RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs for institutional food service supply on a recurring basis across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, New Jersey, and other jurisdictions, with response windows typically 30 to 60 days and contract values ranging from under $200,000 to $9 million annually for single-vendor awards. Specific recent examples include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (RFQ for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items, due October 19, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB HHS0017338 for frozen food products to state hospitals and living centers statewide, estimated annual volume $9 million, bids due August 18, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections (ITB for 40,000 pounds of frozen corn at $0.498 per pound historical pricing, due July 24, 2026). Buyers emphasize domestic-sourcing compliance, HACCP certification, temperature and shelf-life specifications, and timely delivery to multiple sites; awards typically go to the lowest responsive bidder meeting all specifications and delivery requirements.
