UNSPSC 50601805: Frozen Non GMO black appaloosa beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO black appaloosa 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 50601805 Frozen Non GMO black appaloosa beans is a Commodity code covering specialty legume products used in institutional food service and senior nutrition programs. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily through county and school district procurement offices acquiring shelf-stable and prepared food items for congregate meal programs, school lunch operations, and emergency food services. The code captures individual line-item purchases within broader food procurement campaigns where vendors bid specific products alongside competing proteins, starches, and canned goods under unit-price or per-ounce evaluation. Gwinnett County, Georgia school districts, and state nutrition agencies are the primary issuing bodies visible in recent activity.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 in October 2026, an informal written quote solicitation for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026, delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder by unit-of-measure calculation. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids in May 2026 for approximately 300+ food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026, contract running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and vendor compliance requirements including Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, and $500,000 general liability insurance. The State of Georgia also posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid in May 2026 with full scope and pricing in an attached solicitation document. These opportunities reflect institutional purchasing patterns emphasizing domestic sourcing, compliance with USDA standards, and firm pricing with escalation caps.
