UNSPSC 50454500: Frozen organic lentils

The type of organic vegetable known as organic lentils that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50454500 Frozen organic lentils is a Class code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The nine most recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 under this code span fresh produce, eggs, frozen and grocery items, dairy, meats, grains, and miscellaneous food-service products for school nutrition programs and state operations—a broad commodity family of food-service inputs—rather than frozen organic lentils specifically. The mismatch suggests either classification drift within state procurement systems or a code misapplication by the sourcing jurisdictions. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include school districts (Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System), state agencies (State of Georgia), and regional buying cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity, with nutrition program procurement as the primary use case.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Missouri, with standout activity from Georgia school systems and the State of Georgia. Representative solicitations include the City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026, covering comprehensive frozen and grocery products with nutrient and quality specifications for ten school sites; the Early County Board of Education line-item food bid due June 8, 2026, spanning 300-plus food items plus 60 non-food supplies for three schools across the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services due February 18, 2026, seeking a main-line distributor for approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with estimated annual spend of approximately $9,000,000; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative due March 4, 2026, spanning 72 line items across two geographic areas (18 districts in Area One, 12 in Area Two) with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively. All school-district contracts run July 1 to June 30 with renewal options; most require firm pricing for the full term, Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, and $500,000 to $1,000,000 general liability insurance with the district named as additional insured.
