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 (Commodity) encompasses shelf-stable food products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal activity specifically requesting green lentil purees. Instead, the tagged opportunities reflect broader consumable-food procurements for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and county social-services agencies that source dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and food-service supplies. The actual work being solicited includes bulk food purchasing for cafeterias, canteens, and kitchen operations at facilities ranging from 20 to 400+ line items per solicitation, with firm fixed or quarterly pricing, F.O.B. Destination delivery within 72 hours to 30 days, and compliance with USDA grade standards, FDA labeling, and shelf-life minimums. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission for state-supported living centers; Oregon Department of Corrections), state departments of education through school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county social-services agencies (Gwinnett County), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of state criminal-justice departments. Texas HHS Commission and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat solicitors.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (October 23, 2026) for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and sauces for the Department of Community Services; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (June 19, 2026) at the Central Distribution Center in Salem; and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid (June 15, 2026) for fresh produce, meat, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations. Contract values range from estimated annual spend of $1.5 million at individual state-supported living centers to potential three-year maximums of $4.5 million in statewide supplemental-food contracts. Most opportunities employ IFB or IWQ notice types with response windows of 7–30 days and F.O.B. Destination pricing that bundles delivery.
