UNSPSC 50474504: Canned or jarred organic petite crimson lentils

The variety of organic lentils known as organic petite crimson lentils that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50474504 Canned or jarred organic petite crimson lentils is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable canned and jarred legumes, typically as part of broader food supply contracts for institutional food service. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations specifically for canned or jarred organic petite crimson lentils as a standalone line item; instead, this code appears in the broader context of large multipurpose food procurement by state agencies, school districts, and correctional facilities that specify line-item-level food products alongside dozens or hundreds of other items. The solicitations reveal that state and local buyers source canned proteins, vegetables, fruits, and dry goods as part of comprehensive food service programs. Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (operating state supported living centers), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's office. These buyers rarely solicit individual SKUs; instead, they conduct large IFBs and RFQs bundling hundreds of food items, with vendors expected to bid on most or all line items across multiple product categories.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with additional representation from Oregon, Illinois, and other states. Recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's multiple IFBs for state supported living centers and state hospitals (HHS0018082, HHS0017872, HHS0016792V2, HHS0017449), school nutrition programs in Ben Hill County and Burke County, Georgia (PE61000NONST2027000000006, PE55037NONST2027000000007), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods due October 19, 2026, the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato bid for 7,616 cases (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria-food procurement (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026). No recent opportunities in the source explicitly name canned or jarred organic petite crimson lentils as a line item, suggesting the code may see limited standalone activity or that such products are absorbed into larger commodity buys where brand or organic specification is secondary to aggregate volume and delivery performance.
