Currently have AMEX Gold NPSL - 40,000 POT
and 1 Credit Card from my Credit Union 10k limit bank max.
Perhaps this is just me but I do not see a $50,000 profile here. The thing is that charge cards do not report their limits to the reports so unless you charged up to your $40,000 nobody but AmEx will ever know that POT amount. This means that the only real limits that are truly visible guaranteed on the reports are the ones from the CU.
What I do see is a $10,000 profile which might mean you can get higher limits slightly on most new lines. The exception is if you apply to AmEx who might try to get you a reasonable line. The other option is NFCU but they definitely are not going to hand you that much off the starting line. Perhaps $20,000-30,000 could be issued but I do not think that much is acceptable for the profile. The underwriter can override me of course. The one thing I guarantee is that what you are asking is a little much.
Is there a reason you are looking for a $50,000 credit line?

That depends.
They can.
But a lender wants to see you need high limits.
So it depends on the business and the numbers you submit.
*Chase approved me for four personal cards with SL's of $35K, 33K, 30K and 22K in past year. But then they only approved me for $9K on INK Business Preferred which I PC'd to INK Business Cash. (I only claimed a small sole proprietorship so they funded me accordingly.) I've moved some of the limits around since then so two cards in my profile now show only $10K but they were approved higher.
I agree with others that your profile probably won't support $50K+ limits right now.
Most banks work you up to those higher limits. It takes time.
Some banks or credit unions have maximum card limits as low as $10K (which is considered as a "high credit limit" if you look up the definition.) Maximum card limits of $25K to $50K aren't uncommon, depending on the lender. Two of my cards are capped at max $25K.
Some banks might give you a super-high limit if you push your credit line often, pay your balance, and they see you need more. But you may have to ask them.
If you don't have the spend going on, more banks may work you up to higher limits as you build trust with them. Some are quicker to do that than others.
One way to bypass some of the above is if you have significant investments with a bank. Their Wealth Management team may be able to help you get a high limit card as a courtesy for being a high-value customer.
Generally new limits on an account (save a few very generous exceptions) fall within a reasonably close range to what you have already demonstrated you can successfully manage on other accounts. So leveraging your limits higher with CLI's on your existing accounts will help you get higher SLs on new cards.

Concur.
Google "high credit card limit" and you'll find it is defined at $10K.
The highest starting lines I have been approved for were $25K to $35K, and that was with other open lines of credit in that neighborhood which had years of history with other lenders. And that is also with high 800+ credit scores and 'excellent income' (well into six figures.)
Most limits take years to grow significantly.

Capital One, CSP, CSR and Penfed come to mind. But if you dont have any other cards with limits that high you are going to have to build that rapport. I would second someone saying AMEX since you already have a good account standing with the charge card. You could get a high limit revovler. But I would be willing to bet Chase and Amex and Capital one woudl start you at 20K plus. Chase and Amex would be the easier of the two to get CLI on because they would just ask for income verification which I am sure you would be willing to provide. Keep in mind Chase will HP for CLI, Amex will not. Penfed recently changed there policy on limit but I saw someone get instantly approved for 43.5K recently cant remember the person off hand. You might even want to try BOFA. They give out pretty good limits and they SP for CLI
