UNSPSC 50584405: Non GMO spanish pardina lentils

The variety of Non GMO lentils known as Non GMO spanish pardina 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 50584405 Non GMO spanish pardina lentils (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being procured in recent state and local solicitations. The code's specificity to Spanish pardina lentils appears disconnected from the opportunities posted under this classification, which center on broad fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, child nutrition initiatives, and institutional food service rather than legume sourcing by type or origin.

The recent opportunities in the dataset overwhelmingly target fresh produce supply—including fruits (apples, bananas, berries, melons, citrus), vegetables (broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens), eggs, and beverages—posted by school districts, county boards of education, and independent school systems across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida. Issuing bodies span rural and urban districts (Early County Schools in Georgia; McAllen ISD and Austin ISD in Texas; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Hillsborough County and Northside ISD in Texas; Savannah-Chatham and Glynn County school systems in Georgia). Solicitation types include RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs with response dates clustered between late March and late May 2026. Opportunities emphasize USDA compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, delivery logistics to multiple school sites, and firm pricing structures. No recent solicitations reference legume procurement, specialty or commodity-specific sourcing, or products aligned with the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the underlying procurement database or that this code does not currently reflect active state and local buying activity.
