UNSPSC 50601816: Frozen Non GMO china yellow beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO china yellow 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 50601816 Frozen Non GMO China Yellow Beans is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity directly matching its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect broad food service procurement across school districts and state agencies for comprehensive school nutrition, child nutrition, and institutional food programs. The solicitations name produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and miscellaneous food items for school meal programs rather than frozen yellow beans specifically, indicating either a mismatch between the code and actual buying activity or that this commodity sits within larger, multi-category food service contracts where line-item visibility to the frozen-bean level is not surfaced in the public opportunity records reviewed.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food service procurement at the broader category level include school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Dallas Independent School District) and state agencies (State of Georgia). Recent solicitations span Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food line items and 60+ non-food items to support the National School Lunch Program, the Rockwood R-VI School District's Grocery Items bid (IFB via NUTRIKIDS, due April 29, 2026) for over 900 line items across multiple food categories, and the Douglas County School System's Fresh Produce and Eggs RFP (due March 4, 2026) covering approximately 72 produce items with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether frozen yellow beans are being solicited as line items within these broader food service RFPs and RFQs, and clarify code assignment with procurement offices if pursuing frozen-produce opportunities outside the broader institutional food service structure.
