UNSPSC 50484501: Beluga lentil purees

The variety of lentils known as beluga lentils which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484501 Beluga lentil purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct procurement activity under state and local contracts; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting beluga lentils or lentil purees. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual food procurement volume occurring at state agencies, counties, school districts, and correctional facilities, which overwhelmingly solicits ready-to-consume prepared foods, frozen proteins, canned goods, fresh produce, and food service consumables in broad categories rather than specialty pulse products. State and local food procurement is driven by institutional food service operations—state hospitals, supported living centers, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and county services—that buy food in high volume through IFBs and informal quotes rather than as components of processed-food supply chains.

The recent state and local food procurement activity documented in the source spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission and school districts across Georgia representing the most active buyers. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0018082 (October 23, 2026 response deadline) for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center covering 22 line items of prepared foods and service supplies for fiscal year 2027; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote IWQ 140229 (October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods for senior services; the Oregon Department of Corrections bid (June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (June 15, 2026) for a multi-category food program serving four school locations. Beluga lentil purees do not appear in any of these solicitations, and the code shows no actionable procurement signals for business development professionals in the state and local market as of October 2026.
