UNSPSC 50584406: Non GMO split red lentils

The variety of Non GMO lentils known as Non GMO split red 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 50584406 Non GMO split red lentils (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity in the recent-opportunities dataset. The code shows no recent solicitation specifically naming split red lentils or legume commodities; instead, the opportunities posted between February and June 2026 focus on fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, covering fruits, vegetables, eggs, and prepared produce items rather than dried goods or specialty legume products. Skip this code unless you have direct intelligence that a state or local buyer has begun purchasing non-GMO split red lentils as a school lunch commodity.

The mismatch between the code and the dataset reflects a common tagging variance in state and local procurement systems, where a broad family-level or segment-level code may be applied to solicitations spanning multiple commodity types. School districts in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida are actively soliciting fresh produce through RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs with response dates clustered in April and May 2026, but none of the recent opportunities name dried lentils, split peas, or non-GMO specialty legumes as line items. Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside ISD (San Antonio), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa), and multiple Georgia county school systems (Douglas, Glynn, Liberty, Bulloch, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham) are procuring produce under this code family, yet their scope sheets enumerate fresh fruits, vegetables, and prepared items with USDA compliance, HACCP certification, and Buy American provisions—none mentioning legume proteins or dried commodities.
