UNSPSC 50601809: Frozen Non GMO blackeyed beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO blackeyed 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 50601809 Frozen Non GMO blackeyed beans is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable and frozen legume products purchased by state and local governments for food service and distribution programs. State and local buyers under this code source frozen and shelf-stable beans primarily through informal quotes (IWQ), competitive food bids, and statewide purchasing vehicles to support senior services, school meal programs, and emergency food assistance. The scope spans individual line items within larger food procurement bundles rather than standalone commodity contracts; vendors quote alongside competing proteins, grains, canned vegetables, and condiments in single solicitations that evaluate pricing per unit of measure and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia, where Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026.
