UNSPSC 50484504: Petite crimson lentil purees

The variety of lentils known as petite crimson lentils which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484504 Petite crimson lentil purees is a Commodity code that has no recent relevant activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific processed legume product, but the recent opportunities tagged with this code instead solicitate for broad-spectrum food procurement across multiple product categories—canned vegetables, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, prepared foods, and kitchen supplies—rather than specialty lentil purees or any legume-based products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code sits within a broader food-supply taxonomy that issuing bodies use as a catch-all for general food contracting.

State and local governments soliciting under this code include school districts (Illinois Veterans Home Quincy, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and a county government (Ben Hill County). School nutrition programs and institutional food service dominate the recent activity, with contracts spanning meal preparation for thousands of students daily and food service at state-supported living centers, state hospitals, corrections facilities, and veterans homes. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and a response deadline of July 13, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for food products across multiple categories due June 15, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens due April 27, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts and state institutional food service the primary drivers of volume and frequency.
