UNSPSC 50484507: Split yellow lentil purees

The variety of lentils known as split yellow lentils which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484507 Split yellow lentil purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's scope — specialized legume purees intended for institutional food service — does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it, which instead emphasize broad consumable food procurement for state facilities, school districts, and correctional institutions. The recent solicitations focus on shelf-stable and fresh grocery items, prepared foods, frozen proteins, dairy, canned goods, and food service supplies rather than lentil purees or specialized legume products. No recent opportunity explicitly names split yellow lentil purees as a line item or procurement focus. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and multiple Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issue food-service procurement regularly, but their documented activity spans conventional grocery and institutional food categories without specific reference to lentil-based products. The code shows little to no decision-relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity scope.

The geographic spread of recent food-service procurement under related codes concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with isolated activity from Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and pasta (due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026). None of these opportunities name split yellow lentil purees. The code represents a narrowly defined specialty product within the broader food-service taxonomy, and vendors should verify that opportunities tagged under this code actually solicit lentil purees before investing pre-bid effort.
