UNSPSC 50601813: Frozen Non GMO calypso beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO calypso 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 50601813 Frozen Non GMO calypso beans, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The source shows eight recent opportunities spanning Georgia school districts, a Missouri school district, and a Texas school district, but none explicitly reference frozen calypso beans or beans of any type as the primary procurement focus. Instead, the opportunities cluster around broad food service and child nutrition sourcing—fresh produce, eggs, general grocery items, frozen foods, spices, ice cream, and complete food supply and distribution contracts for school meal programs. The tagged code appears to be a classification artifact rather than a meaningful signal of current buying activity under this commodity category.

State and local school districts and school systems dominate the issuing bodies in the dataset, including the Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas), alongside state procurement offices in Georgia. Recent solicitations include Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid for 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies with due date June 8, 2026 (RFQ); City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with sealed bids due May 15, 2026; Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with proposals due March 4, 2026; and Dallas ISD's RFP for various food products with due date April 2, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and extends into Missouri and Texas. The code shows minimal relevance to actual purchasing patterns and warrants reclassification or verification of the commodity tagging in the procurement source system.
