UNSPSC 50624406: Non GMO split red lentil purees

The variety of Non GMO lentils known as Non GMO split red 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 50624406 Non GMO split red lentil purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy shelf-stable bulk food products under this code to supply institutional food service operations — primarily state health and human services facilities, school districts, and correctional institutions. The recent opportunities show that procurement under this taxonomy actually covers a much broader range of shelf-stable and prepared food items: canned vegetables, proteins, condiments, sauces, rice, pasta, frozen specialty entrees, dairy products, and consumable food service supplies. The code's nominal scope (non-GMO split red lentil purees) does not match the actual solicitation activity, which focuses on diverse commodity foods and supplies. State supported living centers, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and county social services departments issue the bulk of solicitations, with repeat activity from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and school districts in Georgia. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issues frequently, as do Georgia school districts including Burke County Public Schools and Ben Hill County Schools.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas showing the heaviest recent volume through HHS and Department of Criminal Justice procurements. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (October 23, 2026 response) for consumable foods and food service supplies at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (October 19, 2026 response) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, canned proteins, and sauces for the Department of Community Services; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (June 15, 2026 response) for school nutrition food products across four school locations under Buy American Act requirements. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 at $13.75 per case. Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF (May 4, 2026 response) sought approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products to supply multiple warehouse locations across five geographic areas. Most solicitations use IFB or IWQ notice types with firm fixed pricing and F.O.B. Destination delivery terms.
