UNSPSC 50601801: Frozen Non GMO anasazi or aztec beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO anasazi or aztec beans that have been frozen for preservation. 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 50601801 Frozen Non GMO anasazi or aztec beans is a Commodity code covering specialty dried and frozen legume products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service and nutrition assistance programs. Recent solicitations show the code applies to shelf-stable and frozen legume inventory for senior services, school lunch and breakfast programs, and general institutional food supply contracts. Issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). Scope of work spans both standalone legume procurement and line-item bidding within larger food-service contracts that bundle proteins, grains, vegetables, and specialty dietary items. Vendors typically compete on unit pricing, brand equivalency, quality certification, delivery logistics, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards and domestic-sourcing preferences.

Georgia shows the most recent activity under this code, with three posted opportunities between May and October 2026. Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including legumes for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026; the State of Georgia issued a bid solicitation on May 15, 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 deadline; and Early County Board of Education posted line-by-line bids on May 11, 2026 for 300+ food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, due June 8, 2026. Award criteria emphasize lowest responsive and responsible bidder pricing, compliance with delivery windows (typically 72 hours of order receipt or specific time slots between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. weekdays), temperature control where applicable, USDA nutrition standards, Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and ability to rotate stock with adequate shelf life. Minimum vendor requirements include general liability insurance, E-Verify compliance, debarment verification for larger contracts, and three references for similar institutional food-service projects.
