UNSPSC 50584403: Non GMO green lentils

The variety of Non GMO lentils known as Non GMO green lentils. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50584403 Non GMO green lentils is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows no documented recent opportunities. The recent opportunities posted between February and June 2026 tagged to fresh produce solicitations—covering school nutrition programs, farm-to-school initiatives, and general food service procurement across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri—request apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries, citrus varieties, eggs, and processed produce items, but do not name legumes, lentils, or non-GMO grain and protein commodities as line items or product families within their scope.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies—Early County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Glynn County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Austin Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District, and Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services represent the active buyers—alongside state produce procurement (Georgia Department of Human Services and state agencies). The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program and National School Lunch Program drive the volume, with contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, awarded on lowest-responsive-bid or scoring-matrix bases, and typically renewed for one to four additional one-year terms. No recent solicitations in the source material request non-GMO green lentils, dried legumes, or specialty protein commodities as distinct line items or vendor offerings. A vendor pursuing this code should verify whether state and local child nutrition programs and institutional food service buyers currently solicit lentils as standalone products or as components within broader produce or prepared-food contracts, as the posted activity does not yet surface demand at the commodity level.
