UNSPSC 50494406: Organic split red lentil purees

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

UNSPSC 50494406 Organic split red lentil purees (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The 14 recent opportunities in the source record span food service and school nutrition procurement but focus predominantly on canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, broad grocery categories, and cafeteria staples—not specialized legume purees. The Illinois Veterans Home's FY-27 quarterly food order (RFQ, due June 26, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) are representative of the issuing bodies active in food service contracting, yet neither specifies organic lentil purees as a line item. The Oregon Department of Corrections' tomato canned solicitation (IFB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) further illustrate the commodity focus on mainstream ingredients rather than specialty organic proteins.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Illinois, alongside activity from Virginia school districts and Florida. School districts and state agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple Georgia county school systems (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County) and state departments of corrections or health and human services appearing repeatedly. The code itself shows no recent state or local opportunities explicitly requesting organic split red lentil purees; the tagged opportunities are mislabeled or cover parent commodity categories that encompass legume products generically. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether state and local school nutrition and institutional food programs are specifying organic legume products as distinct line items in their RFPs and RFQs, as the current posting activity suggests demand for commodity legumes remains bundled within broad grocery procurements rather than solicited as specialized product offerings.
