UNSPSC 50601835: Frozen Non GMO madeira/madera beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO madeira/madera 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 50601835 Frozen Non GMO Madeira/Madera Beans is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable and frozen legume products purchased by state and local governments primarily for institutional food service and emergency assistance programs. The code captures frozen bean products sourced under competitive procurement for school nutrition programs, senior services meal provision, and state-level food supply contracts. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county purchasing offices, state procurement authorities, and independent school districts; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and the State of Georgia appear as recent active buyers, alongside Early County Board of Education, reflecting the concentration of procurement activity in institutional nutrition and emergency-assistance meal programs rather than commercial grocery or restaurant sourcing.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, where Gwinnett County posted an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including legumes for the Department of Community Services (response due October 19, 2026), the State of Georgia issued a bid for food and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for 300+ food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program (due June 8, 2026). Early County's food bid explicitly emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with milk and bread vendors subject to USDA compliance requirements and all pricing to include packing and transportation with no separate fuel charges. Award across these opportunities is made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with school-district bids allowing piggybacking by other jurisdictions on identical terms.
