UNSPSC 50464505: Canned or jarred spanish pardina lentils

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

UNSPSC 50464505 Canned or jarred Spanish pardina lentils, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity; the source contains no opportunities specifically soliciting this product. State and local governments acquire canned and jarred legume products primarily through broader food and consumable solicitations targeting school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and health and human services agencies. Recent opportunities across Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, and Missouri solicited general canned goods, fresh produce, proteins, and prepared foods, but none identified pardina lentils by name or specification. The code's narrow commodity focus—a single legume variety in preserved form—sits within much larger food procurement categories (NIGP Class 380, 385, 390, 393; USDA commodity classes) that state and local buyers consolidate into master grocery contracts, net-off-invoice arrangements, and fixed-price food service agreements covering hundreds of line items.

Issuing bodies pursuing this work span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Douglas County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Rockwood School District), state departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon DOC, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia Department of Corrections, Georgia Education), and regional buying cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). School nutrition programs dominate the recent opportunities, with contracts running July-June fiscal years and serving 6,900 to 32,000 daily meal participants across multiple school sites. Response dates from the recent block cluster between mid-February and late June 2026, with most bids due in March through June. Geographic concentration in this recent activity appears in Georgia (multiple school districts and state operations), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Comptroller), Oregon (DOC), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Missouri (Rockwood). Dollar values where disclosed range from approximately $52,000 to $9 million annually. Vendors competing in this space typically bid on line-item or cost-plus-net-off-invoice models with firm pricing for twelve months, accepting midterm adjustments only when underlying supplier costs increase by 5 percent or more with documented proof. Buy American requirements, HACCP certification, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million), E-Verify compliance, and debarment certification appear consistently across solicitations. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in any of the recent opportunities examined.
