UNSPSC 50601817: Frozen Non GMO dragon tongue beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO dragon tongue 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 50601817 Frozen Non GMO dragon tongue beans, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, yet the code shows minimal recent solicitation activity aligned to this specific frozen vegetable. State and local governments purchasing under this code typically acquire shelf-stable and frozen food products for senior services, school meal programs, and institutional food service operations. Issuing bodies soliciting food products include county boards of commissioners managing senior services, state procurement offices, and school district boards of education operating meal programs under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. When frozen specialty vegetables appear in procurement records, they are usually bundled within larger food supply contracts rather than solicited as standalone line items.

Recent activity shows the code receives sporadic attention across Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center, though the scope focused on peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, and pasta rather than frozen dragon tongue beans. Early County Board of Education posted an RFQ for food and non-food products supporting school meal programs due June 8, 2026, covering meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, and grains with domestic sourcing preferences and whole-grain emphasis, but no frozen specialty bean line items were enumerated. The State of Georgia issued a broader RFQ for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 due date. Frozen specialty vegetables such as dragon tongue beans do not emerge as a distinct procurement line in these representative opportunities, suggesting the code either captures purchases aggregated under broader vegetable categories or sees demand insufficient to generate standalone notices in the recent state and local market.
