UNSPSC 50601804: Frozen Non GMO barlotti beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO barlotti 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 50601804 Frozen Non GMO barlotti beans is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable and frozen legume products purchased by state and local food-service operations, though recent solicitations show limited specific demand for frozen barlotti beans as a line item. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through county purchasing offices, state procurement divisions, and school district food-service programs that source ingredients for institutional meal programs—senior services, state dining facilities, and K-12 lunch and breakfast programs. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IWQ 140229 food-items quote sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable products including canned proteins and rice for the Department of Community Services; the State of Georgia issued a May 2026 RFQ for food, supplies, and other kitchen products; and the Early County Board of Education posted a June 2026 RFQ for 300-plus food items to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with emphasis on domestic sourcing and whole-grain specifications. These solicitations reflect purchasing by county governments and state agencies alongside school districts, with food-service operations as the primary customer class.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where Gwinnett County, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education all posted opportunities in the May-to-October 2026 window. The Gwinnett quote closed October 19, 2026 with F.O.B. Destination delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center within 72 hours of order when possible and by December 7, 2026 deadline; the State of Georgia RFQ closed June 22, 2026; and the Early County Board of Education RFQ closed June 8, 2026 with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, requiring $500,000 general liability insurance, HACCP plans, and Buy American compliance. No recent solicitations explicitly named frozen barlotti beans as a line item, suggesting limited current state and local demand for this specific commodity or that purchases are consolidated under broader legume or canned-goods categories.
