UNSPSC 50584408: Non GMO tarahumara pinks lentils

The variety of Non GMO lentils known as Non GMO tarahumara pinks 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 50584408 Non GMO Tarahumara Pinks Lentils is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code's abstract name suggests a specific agricultural commodity—Non-GMO heritage lentil varieties—yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not include procurement of lentils or specialty legumes. Instead, the tagged solicitations span school nutrition, fresh produce distribution, and general food service procurement across multiple states, none of which target lentil supply. The mismatch between code designation and actual buying signals suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that this particular lentil commodity is not currently being actively solicited by state or local public bodies in the available record.

School districts, county boards of education, and municipal food service operations dominate the recent opportunities, with activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida. Representative current solicitations include the Early County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB for food and non-food products across the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program due June 8, 2026; Northside Independent School District (Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce due May 7, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) RFP for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program produce due March 11, 2026; and the State of Georgia fresh produce IFB #4 2027-2026 due May 27, 2026. These procurements cover fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and prepared food items delivered to school locations and central distribution points, with emphasis on USDA compliance, Buy American sourcing, HACCP certification, and pricing anchored to USDA market indices or terminal market reports. No opportunities in the current block solicit lentils, legumes, or specialty grain products matching the code's stated commodity. If lentil supply is a business development target, alternative UNSPSC codes governing dried legumes or bulk grains should be researched, as this code shows no actionable state or local demand in the recent procurement window.
