UNSPSC 50601840: Frozen Non GMO moth beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO moth 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 50601840 Frozen Non GMO moth beans is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy frozen vegetable products under this code to support school meal programs, institutional food service operations, and general procurement for state agencies. Recent solicitations show that frozen vegetables appear as line items within broader fresh and frozen produce bids rather than as standalone procurement categories. School districts and state agencies typically source frozen beans and legumes as components of comprehensive food-supply contracts that include fresh produce, proteins, grains, and other staples. The scope encompasses USDA-compliant frozen vegetables meeting specifications for nutrition standards, low sodium formulations, whole-grain pairings, and domestic sourcing preferences where applicable.

School districts dominate recent activity under this code, with the Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System all issuing bids or RFPs for frozen and fresh produce during the first five months of 2026. State agencies—particularly the State of Georgia—also procure frozen vegetables for general food service operations. The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (RFQ, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items including frozen and fresh vegetables across three schools; the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for Frozen Foods and Grocery (due May 15, 2026) for delivery to ten school sites; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026), which covers 30 school districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two. All contracts require firm pricing, compliance with Buy American provisions and HACCP food safety standards, and delivery within specified temperature and timing windows.
