UNSPSC 50624403: Non GMO green lentil purees

The variety of Non GMO lentils known as Non GMO green 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 50624403 Non GMO green lentil purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy for institutional food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows no procurement activity specifically for this item. The code nominally addresses a narrow specialized food product, but the most recent state and local opportunities soliciting under related food commodity codes—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, and general food service supplies—demonstrate that state and local jurisdictions primarily purchase broader categories of shelf-stable and fresh food products through school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes. When opportunities are tagged to this code in the source materials, they consistently reflect large-scale institutional procurement covering hundreds of line items across multiple product categories rather than single-commodity purchases of non-GMO legume purees.

State and local solicitations for food commodities originate from school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), corrections and detention agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and special-purpose districts. Recent activity spans multiple states including Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid covering multiple product categories (due June 15, 2026). No recent opportunities specifically named non-GMO green lentil purees as a line item in any of the state and local solicitations reviewed.
