UNSPSC 50624401: Non GMO beluga lentil purees

The variety of Non GMO lentils known as Non GMO beluga 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 50624401 Non GMO beluga lentil purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments acquire food products under this code primarily through school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes; however, recent opportunities show no specific solicitations for beluga lentil purees, instead capturing a broad range of canned and fresh food commodities for institutional meal service. The code sits within broader food procurement activity driven by K-12 school districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services commissions, and specialty institutional customers, with solicitations typically bundled under larger grocery or food-supply contracts rather than issued as single-commodity purchases.

Recent activity spans multiple states including Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, reflecting nationwide procurement across school nutrition programs and state facility operations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables solicitation (HHS0017449) for El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior period value of $1.5 million and a response deadline of July 13, 2026; Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006) for multiple categories including produce and dairy with responses due June 15, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 procurement (IFB 2000004323) delivering to 45 schools with responses due April 27, 2026; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomatoes bid (S2910000016089) for 7,616 cases with responses due February 9, 2026. These solicitations typically employ IFB, RFP, and RFQ mechanisms with firm fixed pricing requirements, delivery to multiple locations, Buy American compliance mandates, and contract terms of one year with renewal options. The code shows no recent activity specifically for non-GMO beluga lentil purees as a line-item commodity; broader institutional food sourcing dominates, with price sensitivity tied to USDA commodity pricing and market indices.
