UNSPSC 50454501: Frozen organic beluga lentils

The variety of organic lentils known as organic beluga lentils that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50454501 Frozen organic beluga lentils is a Commodity code that sits within the broader food procurement taxonomy, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show no actual demand for frozen organic beluga lentils specifically. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span general food service procurement for school nutrition programs and state operations—including fresh produce, frozen foods, groceries, eggs, and main-line food distribution. The scope of work being solicited is primarily school meal support across the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, along with food provisioning for state agencies and institutional foodservice operations. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Dallas Independent School District in Texas) and state agencies (the State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity, with nutrition directors and child nutrition services teams driving line-item and lot-based food procurement across multiple product categories—though the specific product (frozen organic beluga lentils) does not appear in any of the posted opportunities.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFP/IFB, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies across three schools; the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) for the School Nutrition Program; the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items solicitation (IFB via NUTRIKIDS, due April 29, 2026) for over 900 line items serving 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily; the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) covering 30 school districts across two Georgia geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined; and Dallas ISD's RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026) for delivery to its Maria Luna Food Service Facilities Warehouse. The code shows active procurement volume but a mismatch between the nominal commodity and actual market demand—no bidders should expect frozen organic beluga lentils to be a primary revenue driver under this classification.
