UNSPSC 50484500: Lentil purees

The type of vegetable known as lentils which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484500 Lentil purees is a Class code that covers specialized legume-based food products state and local governments procure as part of institutional food service. Recent opportunities show states and school districts buying lentil purees alongside broader food procurement activities, though the code itself sees limited discrete solicitation activity; most recent opportunities cite lentil purees implicitly within larger grocery, produce, and food-supply RFPs rather than as standalone line items.

State and local food procurement under this code involves school districts, state institutional facilities (prisons, veterans homes, health and human services facilities), and county school boards across the South and Midwest. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia all actively soliciting food products under annual IFBs and RFPs that encompass prepared and processed food items. State facilities including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (for state hospitals and supported living centers), the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Illinois Veterans Home also procure food products regularly. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, response due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with estimated historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period; Ben Hill County Schools IFB (posted May 19, 2026, response due June 15, 2026) for school nutrition food products across four school locations with Buy American requirements; and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, response due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 to supply 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon, with school districts in the Southeast and Midwest representing the highest volume of recent procurement activity. Contract values at the school-district level typically range from $1.5 million to $9 million annually; state facility procurement spans similar ranges with multi-year renewal options common.
