UNSPSC 50601810: Frozen Non GMO bobby beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO bobby 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 50601810 Frozen Non GMO bobby beans is a Commodity code that captures frozen specialty vegetable products procured by state and local food service operations, particularly school districts running nutrition programs. State and local governments buy frozen vegetables and specialty commodity items under this code to support institutional meal service — the recent solicitations show school districts and education agencies soliciting frozen and fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and pantry staples to serve hundreds of thousands of daily meals across distributed school sites. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county education systems (Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Dallas Independent School District) alongside state food procurement offices. These jurisdictions solicit annually, typically for July-through-June contract periods, and award on a line-item or lot basis to multiple vendors to balance cost, quality, and supply resilience.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri. The Early County Board of Education IFB (RFQ issued May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) requested 300+ food items including frozen vegetables with delivery six days per week to three schools, emphasizing domestic sourcing and low-sodium formulations.

The City Schools of Decatur IFB (issued April 16, 2026, due May 15, 2026) required frozen foods meeting whole-grain and low-sodium specs with delivery to ten schools and compliance with HACCP and mock-recall protocols. Dallas ISD RFP JC250079 (issued February 22, 2026, due April 2, 2026) specified items meeting Texas nonpreferred-ingredients rules and prohibited artificial colors, flavors, and high fructose corn syrup. School districts uniformly require firm pricing for 12-month terms, Buy American compliance, general liability insurance from $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence, and E-Verify authorization; most permit quarterly or semiannual price adjustments only when supported by USDA or CPI documentation and capped at 3 to 10 percent thresholds.
