UNSPSC 50624404: Non GMO petite crimson lentil purees

The variety of Non GMO lentils known as Non GMO petite crimson 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 50624404 Non GMO petite crimson lentil purees is a Commodity code, but the source documents eleven recent state and local opportunities and none solicits lentil purees of any kind. The opportunities span food service procurement for correctional facilities, state supported living centers, schools, and county senior services, encompassing fresh and frozen proteins, produce, dairy, canned goods, pantry staples, and food-service supplies — but no legume purees or lentil products appear in any specification. The code appears misapplied to general institutional food procurement; state and local buyers tagging opportunities under this code are not purchasing non-GMO petite crimson lentil purees.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted at least three separate IFBs for food and consumable products at state supported living centers (HHS0017872, HHS0017449, HHS0018082) between June and October 2026, with response dates ranging from August 25 to October 23, 2026. Georgia school districts — Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools — and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners have solicited food bids through June 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Oregon have posted commodity bids (canned tomatoes, potatoes, and unnamed food supplies) in June and July 2026. These opportunities represent institutional food-service procurement at scale — Ben Hill County Schools spans hundreds of line items across multiple categories; Gwinnett County requested approximately 1,062 cases; Oregon ODOC sought eight full truckloads of canned tomatoes. None of these solicitations names non-GMO lentil purees as a required or optional line item. Activity does not support pursuit under this code.
