UNSPSC 50494400: Organic lentil purees

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

UNSPSC 50494400 Organic lentil purees is a Class code that nominally covers legume products, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct relevance to the category name. The opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span food service procurement broadly—including canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, cafeteria staples, and general grocery supply for corrections facilities, health and human services institutions, and school nutrition programs—but none of the representative solicitations explicitly reference organic lentil purees or legume purees as a line item. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, state school districts (Fairfax County, Virginia; Douglas County, Georgia; Burke County, Georgia; Ben Hill County, Georgia; Liberty County, Georgia; and Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia), the Illinois Veterans Home, and the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) are the primary issuing bodies, each procuring seasonal or annual food supply contracts. This code appears to capture food-service commodity procurement at a broad tier rather than tracking specialty vegetable or legume products with precision.

Geographic concentration spans the Southeast (Georgia and Florida solicitations dominate the count), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ), Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumable products for state-supported living centers, due July 13, 2026), the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, elementary through high school supply, due April 27, 2026), the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned tomatoes (S2910000015837, approximately 7,616 cases, due February 9, 2026). Pricing in these solicitations typically remains firm for the contract period with annual or periodic adjustments permitted on a cost-index basis, and awards favor lowest responsive, responsible bids evaluated against specification compliance and vendor performance history. The code shows material procurement activity but does not signal specialized demand for organic lentil purees specifically; vendors in this space should verify line-item inclusion in individual RFPs rather than assuming the code as a primary entry point.
