UNSPSC 50601823: Frozen Non GMO giant white coco beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO giant white coco 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 50601823 Frozen Non GMO giant white coco beans, a Commodity code, covers specialty legume products sourced by state and local food service providers, though recent opportunities indicate the code captures a narrow slice of actual procurement activity in this space. State and local governments purchasing under this code are primarily school districts and county departments of community services acquiring shelf-stable and specialty food items for meal programs, senior services, and food assistance initiatives. The scope of work spans acquisition of specific branded or equivalent frozen and preserved food products, with vendors required to meet delivery, labeling, quality, and compliance standards including HACCP certification where applicable, E-Verify verification, Buy American compliance, and general liability insurance thresholds tied to contract value.

Recent solicitation activity is concentrated in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, with delivery required by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center, due date October 19, 2026. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 covering 300+ food items and 60 non-food and paper supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, due June 8, 2026, with contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options. The State of Georgia also issued a statewide food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid in May 2026, due June 22, 2026, with full scope contained in the attached solicitation document. Activity shows school districts and county purchasing offices as the primary buyers, with awards typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on unit-of-measure pricing and compliance with domestic sourcing and quality specifications.
