UNSPSC 50601818: Frozen Non GMO european soldier beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO european soldier 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 50601818 Frozen Non GMO European Soldier Beans is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable and frozen specialty produce items, though state and local governments purchase this code primarily as part of broader food-service procurement bundles rather than as standalone frozen bean line items. Recent solicitations show this code appearing within larger food-supply contracts for senior services, school nutrition programs, and institutional food operations. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and school districts are the primary issuing bodies, with purchasing driven by senior services departments, school-lunch programs, and state institutional food services rather than by specialized produce vendors.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, where Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote request (IWQ 140229) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables with delivery due by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Georgia posted a bid on May 15, 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date; and Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 for 300+ food items supporting National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with bids due June 8, 2026 and contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The commodity code itself shows limited standalone activity — frozen European soldier beans do not appear as a named line item in the summarized solicitations reviewed, suggesting procurement under this code occurs when bundled with larger food-service awards or sourced through regional food-service distributors rather than as a direct-buy category.
