UNSPSC 50494401: Organic beluga lentil purees

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

UNSPSC 50494401 Organic beluga lentil purees is a Commodity code that nominally specifies a single product—organic beluga lentil purees—but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no procurement activity for that item. The code's recent activity spans broadly across shelf-stable and prepared food products for state institutions, school districts, and county services, including canned tomatoes, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies. The issuing bodies are state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, state comptrollers, county nutrition programs, and school districts across multiple states. The work involves purchasing consumables for cafeteria operations, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services centers, and school nutrition programs, with delivery to institutional locations and compliance requirements including USDA grade standards, FDA compliance, HACCP plans, and Buy American provisions where applicable.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables supporting state hospitals and state-supported living centers, including HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, July 2026, historical annual value $1.5 million) and HHS0017872 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, August 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with an FOB Destination delivery requirement and Oregon bidder preferences. In Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, October 2026), Ben Hill County Schools posted a comprehensive food bid (May 2026), and Burke County Public Schools sought grocery procurement across five schools (June 2026). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (May 2026, extended deadline). The code shows no posted opportunities matching the organic beluga lentil puree specification; vendors pursuing this code should expect to bid broadly across institutional food supply categories rather than specialized lentil products.
