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 is a Commodity code describing a specific frozen legume product, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct solicitation for the item itself. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader frozen and grocery food procurement where frozen beans and similar legume products may be included as line items within larger food-service contracts. State and local school districts and food-service authorities are the primary issuing bodies, with recent solicitations focused on comprehensive frozen and grocery product portfolios for child nutrition programs rather than specialty frozen beans in isolation. The scope of work under this code in practice spans child nutrition procurement across elementary and secondary schools, where frozen vegetables, legumes, grains, and prepared items meeting USDA nutrition standards, whole-grain requirements, low-sodium formulations, and Buy American provisions are bundled into district-wide annual food-service contracts. Vendors must maintain HACCP plans, provide food-recall procedures, carry minimum general liability insurance (typically $500,000 to $2,000,000 depending on district size), comply with E-Verify requirements, and deliver to multiple school sites on fixed schedules within prescribed temperature ranges.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. Recent representative solicitations include the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services (St. Louis County, Missouri) grocery-items IFB with electronic bidding due April 29, 2026, covering over 900 line items across snacks, produce, grains, dairy, and meats for the 2026-27 school year; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh-produce annual contract (Georgia) with sealed bids due April 23, 2026, encompassing 72 produce items across 60 schools; the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (Georgia) with proposals due February 18, 2026, estimated at approximately $9 million annually to serve 32 schools; and Dallas Independent School District's Request for Proposal for various food products (Texas) with responses due April 2, 2026, seeking multiple suppliers for items not available through main commodity food bids and covering the 2026-27 school year with optional two-year renewals. School districts uniformly require firm pricing for the contract period, line-item or lot-based award structures, compliance with federal nutrition standards and domestic-sourcing preferences, and direct delivery to multiple sites with no fuel surcharges.
