UNSPSC 50624400: Non GMO lentil purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO 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 50624400 Non GMO lentil purees is a Class code that represents a narrow commodity within state and local food service procurement, yet the recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations for lentil purees or legume-based purees specifically. Instead, the recent activity under or near this code reflects broad food service provisioning for state institutions, schools, and correctional facilities—purchases of proteins, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, grains, canned goods, condiments, and food service supplies in bulk quantities. The issuing bodies are overwhelmingly state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, state supported living centers), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Gwinnett County), state departments of corrections (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ), and individual school nutrition programs. These institutions procure through IFB, IWQ (informal written quote), and RFP vehicles with response windows typically 7–30 days.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted at least three solicitations since May 2026 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, Lufkin State Supported Living Center, and a statewide supplemental food and consumables IFB with a $4.5 million three-year ceiling). Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia each issued school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes in June 2026 (7,616 cases, $13.75 per case in the prior purchase). The most recent opportunity is Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026. None of the recent opportunities name non-GMO lentil purees as a line item; the code appears to see little or no relevant recent activity at the state and local level.
