UNSPSC 50601820: Frozen Non GMO flageolet beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO flageolet 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 50601820 Frozen Non GMO flageolet beans is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable and frozen vegetable products for food-service operations, senior services, and institutional meal programs. The recent solicitation activity shows purchasing of canned and frozen vegetables as part of broader food-supply contracts rather than flageolet beans specifically; state and local buyers tag this code when acquiring produce-based provisions for senior nutrition, school lunch programs, and emergency food distribution. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners managing senior services and nutrition programs, state procurement offices, and school district boards of education operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. The mix reflects routine demand across general-purpose county governments, state central purchasing, and independent school districts.

Georgia dominates recent activity under this code, with three posted opportunities between May and October 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026; the State of Georgia posted a statewide IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date; and Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026. Early County's bid emphasized domestic sourcing preferences and whole-grain, low-sodium formulations without added sugars or artificial additives, with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend. The three Georgia opportunities collectively signal steady institutional demand for food-service products but show limited recent activity nationally under this specific code.
