UNSPSC 50601830: Frozen Non GMO jackson wonder beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO jackson wonder 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 50601830 Frozen Non-GMO Jackson Wonder Beans, a Commodity code, represents a narrow specialty frozen vegetable line item that state and local governments procure as part of broader school nutrition and institutional food service contracts. Recent solicitations show this code applies to frozen bean products ordered within comprehensive food-service bids that span hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods for child nutrition programs. School districts and state agencies source frozen beans alongside fresh produce, meats, grains, and condiments to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, typically as one component of a much larger annual food procurement rather than as a standalone procurement vehicle. The issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District) and state agencies (State of Georgia), with school nutrition programs driving the vast majority of recent activity. These districts serve thousands of daily meal participants and structure their buys on annual cycles running July through June, with firm pricing requirements and stringent food safety, USDA compliance, and Buy American mandates.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Missouri, with the largest and most active buyers appearing in the Savannah-Chatham County system, Douglas County School System (serving 30 districts across two areas), and Dallas ISD. The Douglas County procurement through the GEC Buying Cooperative—RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, and RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services with approximately $9 million annual expenditure—represents the largest identified opportunities. Early County Board of Education issued an RFQ for line-by-line food bids with responses due June 8, 2026, and the City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for Frozen Foods and Grocery with bids due May 15, 2026. All contracts require delivery to school sites Monday through Friday within specified temperature windows, HACCP plan compliance, $1 million general liability insurance, E-Verify authorization, and adherence to food-safety recall procedures. Pricing remains firm for the contract year, with escalation typically permitted only on documented USDA or CPI increases exceeding thresholds of 3 to 10 percent depending on the district.
