UNSPSC 50444507: Frozen split yellow lentils

The variety of lentils known as split yellow lentils that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50444507 Frozen split yellow lentils is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a single frozen legume product, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for frozen split yellow lentils. Instead, the most recent records tagged under this code or nearby frozen-vegetable codes document state and local purchasing of frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, and assorted frozen vegetable blends — products that fall outside the lentil category entirely. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the source records or dormant procurement activity under this specific code at present.

State and local buyers using related frozen-vegetable codes — particularly 50444500-series frozen-vegetable families — are primarily state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania), and county public health or social-services agencies. Oregon ODOC and Texas TDCJ appear repeatedly in the frozen-vegetables cluster, soliciting frozen carrots, mixed vegetables, corn, and potato products through ITBs with response dates in March through July 2026 at volumes ranging from 40,000 to 400,000 pounds per lot. School nutrition programs in Georgia (Burke County, Bulloch County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur), Texas (Dallas ISD), and other states issue RFPs and IFBs for broad frozen-produce categories as part of larger school-meal procurement portfolios. If your firm supplies frozen legumes to institutional food service, the absence of direct frozen-lentil solicitations suggests either that lentils occupy a niche position in state and local menus or that buyers classify them under broader commodity categories not precisely tagged to this code. Monitoring frozen-vegetable opportunities at state corrections and school-district procurement offices may reveal latent demand.
