UNSPSC 50464507: Canned or jarred split yellow lentils

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

UNSPSC 50464507 Canned or jarred split yellow lentils is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable legume products state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing canned and jarred lentils as part of broader consumable food purchases for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county human services operations. The code appears in mixed-scope food service RFPs and IFBs where lentils are specified among dozens of line items rather than as standalone procurements. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state comptroller offices acting on behalf of operational agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and various Georgia school districts are repeat solicitors of institutional food supplies under related codes in the same product family.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), which covers 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables (response due October 19, 2026); and Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a prior reference purchase of $13.75 per case (June 2026). The code shows no recent standalone lentil procurement; lentils have not appeared as named line items in posted opportunities reviewed. Activity under this Commodity code remains sparse relative to broader institutional food service purchasing.
