UNSPSC 50474507: Canned or jarred organic split yellow lentils

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

UNSPSC 50474507 Canned or jarred organic split yellow lentils is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service purchasing for institutional feeding operations, though recent solicitations show little direct activity targeting this specific product line. The code serves school districts, state health and human services agencies, correctional facilities, and veterans homes that need shelf-stable protein ingredients for meal preparation. Issuing bodies span state departments, county and municipal school systems, and specialized state-operated facilities; the recent opportunity mix reflects school nutrition programs and state-supported living centers as the primary buyers in this tier.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Texas school districts, with additional procurement from Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia jurisdictions. Recent opportunities tied nominally to this code and adjacent commodity categories—such as Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive school nutrition food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026)—indicate that state and local buyers acquiring canned legumes do so as line items within larger consolidated food service contracts rather than as standalone solicitations. The broader pattern shows school districts and state facilities posting RFPs and IFBs for hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, and dry goods at regular intervals; canned organic lentils, when specified, appear as a minor component within those portfolios. No recent solicitations were identified that target organic split yellow lentils as a primary or standalone procurement focus.
