UNSPSC 50464503: Canned or jarred green lentils

The variety of lentils known as green lentils that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50464503 Canned or jarred green lentils is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and jarred legume products, typically as components of broader food-service supply chains for institutional dining, school nutrition programs, and correctional or health-care facility operations. Recent solicitations show this code tagged to school district food bids, state-agency meal programs, and institutional food services, though the opportunities captured in the dataset reflect canned tomatoes, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery items rather than green lentils specifically, indicating either sparse direct activity or upstream classification under broader legume or canned-goods categories.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related canned and preserved-vegetable codes include school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), and state institutional agencies (Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections Invitation to Bid S2910000016089 for approximately 1,904 cases of tomato paste with bids due March 9, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned goods for El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products encompassing canned fruits and vegetables with bids due June 15, 2026. The code shows sufficient institutional and school-district activity to warrant tracking, though green-lentil-specific opportunities do not appear in the recent dataset; vendors should monitor broader canned-goods and legume categories under UNSPSC 50460000 and related family codes for pipeline visibility.
