UNSPSC 50454507: Frozen organic split yellow lentils

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

UNSPSC 50454507 Frozen organic split yellow lentils is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows little connection to the frozen lentil product itself. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad food service procurement for school districts and state agencies acquiring comprehensive meal-support inventories—frozen and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and supplies—rather than the specialized organic legume product the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System) and state agencies (State of Georgia), all supporting child nutrition and school meal programs under USDA National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program frameworks. These jurisdictions solicit through RFPs and IFBs with firm pricing structures, Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, food recall procedures, and liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food items, 60+ non-food and cleaning supplies, and milk delivery across three schools; City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) across ten school sites with firm 30-day pricing and quarterly adjustments limited to 10 percent increases; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for a main-line food distributor serving 32,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000; and Dallas Independent School District's RFP (due April 2, 2026) for various food products not available through main commodity bids, with awards on a line-item basis and M/WBE program consideration. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options for one to four additional years, delivery five or six days per week to school warehouse or individual sites, and payment Net 30 to Net 40 days from delivery or invoice.
