UNSPSC 50454508: Frozen organic tarahumara pinks lentils

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

UNSPSC 50454508 Frozen organic tarahumara pinks lentils is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect the code's nominal scope — instead, they reflect broad food-service procurement covering shelf-stable and fresh food items, non-food supplies, and kitchen products for public agencies. The actual work being solicited covers general food purchasing for senior services, school nutrition programs, and state government operations, ranging from canned proteins and prepared sauces to fresh produce, dairy, and meat products for institutional meal service. Issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). The food-service work encompasses informal quotes for inventory replenishment, formal IFB processes for school lunch and breakfast programs, and state-level food supply contracts.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an IWQ (informal written quote) on October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, canned vegetables, sauces, soups) with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center required by December 7, 2026. Early County Board of Education issued an IFB on May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, for line-by-line food and non-food bids to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, covering 300+ food items (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments) plus 60+ non-food and paper supplies for delivery across three schools, with a contract period from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026. All three opportunities emphasize domestic sourcing, compliance with food safety and handling standards (including HACCP plans, E-Verify verification, and debarment checks), and delivery to specified institutional locations. This code shows limited recent activity aligned to its nominal description.
