UNSPSC 50604507: Frozen Non GMO split yellow lentils

The variety of Non GMO lentils known as Non GMO split yellow lentils that have been frozen for preservation. 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 50604507 Frozen Non-GMO Split Yellow Lentils (Commodity) covers shelf-stable food products procured by state and local food service operations, though the code name does not precisely align with the breadth of items state and local buyers are actually soliciting. Recent opportunities under this code show demand for bulk food provisioning across multiple product categories — canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, vegetables, and other shelf-stable staples — rather than lentils specifically. The issuing bodies are county governments, state departments, and school districts, with Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education appearing in recent activity. Buyers emphasize lowest-price evaluation, brand-or-equivalent flexibility, compliance with food safety and labeling requirements, and domestic sourcing preferences where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of 35 line items of shelf-stable food products for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026 and delivery required by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The State of Georgia issued a bid request on May 15, 2026, for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids on May 11, 2026, for food and non-food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026; the contract period runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with award made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and pricing firm for 15 days after award, with escalation or de-escalation considered on a six-month basis.
