UNSPSC 50601811: Frozen Non GMO bolita beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO bolita 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 50601811 Frozen Non GMO bolita beans is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on bulk food purchasing for institutional meal programs and community services, where frozen beans and similar shelf-stable protein and starch products support school nutrition, senior services, and public-agency food distribution. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments, state departments, and school districts. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and the Early County Board of Education have posted recent opportunities in this space. The scope of work encompasses line-item food procurement for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance, senior center meal programs, and departmental food provisioning, with emphasis on USDA-compliant sourcing, domestic products, whole-grain specifications, and low-sodium formulations where applicable. Vendors typically bid on individual commodity lines and must meet delivery, labeling, temperature control, and documentation standards including HACCP plans and food recall procedures when contract values exceed specified thresholds.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables, with quotes due October 19, 2026, and delivery required by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville; award was to be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with split awards by line item permitted. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for 300+ food items supporting school meal programs across three schools, due June 8, 2026, with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and allowance for piggybacking by other school districts. All three opportunities required F.O.B. destination delivery with fixed or formula-based pricing, compliance with federal meal-program nutrition standards, and vendor references or debarment verification.
