UNSPSC 50624407: Non GMO split yellow lentil purees

The variety of Non GMO lentils known as Non GMO split yellow 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 50624407 Non GMO split yellow lentil purees is a Commodity code that captures specialty legume products state and local governments procure for institutional food service — school districts, state agencies, correctional facilities, and health and human services providers. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically requesting lentil purees; instead, the code appears to be tagged to broader food procurement efforts that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items ranging from proteins and produce to dairy and prepared entrees. The recent state and local activity under this nominal code actually reflects general grocery and food supply contracts for institutional meal programs, not lentil purees in particular. State and local issuing bodies pursuing food service contracts span school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state agencies and departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia state agencies), and special-purpose authorities. School districts dominate the recent opportunity count, with Georgia and Texas issuing bodies appearing most frequently across the dataset.

The geographic spread includes Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Virginia, and other states, with school districts in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and West (Oregon) showing the heaviest recent posting activity. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with proposals due July 13, 2026 under a demand-based contract covering NIGP food classes with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with sealed bids due April 27, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District's dual grocery procurements (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS and CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS) for over 900 grocery line items with electronic bids due April 29, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories with bids due June 15, 2026. These contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 fiscal years, permit price adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks, require firm fixed pricing for the base term, and demand substantial insurance and compliance documentation. The code sees steady activity but does not isolate lentil purees as a distinct procurement driver — vendors pursuing this code should expect to bid as line items within large multi-category food service competitions rather than standalone specialty-legume procurements.
