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 that describes shelf-stable and frozen legume products purchased by state and local governments primarily for institutional food service and senior nutrition programs. In practice, state and local buyers under this code procure a mix of shelf-stable staple foods — canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and vegetables — and specialty items including frozen beans, typically as part of broader food-service line-item bids. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (purchasing for senior services), state purchasing offices, and school districts (buying for National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs). Georgia shows the strongest recent activity, with solicitations from Gwinnett County, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education all active in the past six months.

Recent opportunities reflect institutional food purchasing at scale. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted IWQ 140229 in October 2026, an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, specifying 35 line items with branded or approved-equivalent options and F.O.B. destination delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids in May 2026 for 300+ food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, requiring domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and HACCP compliance. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid in May 2026 with scope and pricing detailed in attached documentation. Award decisions in school district bids follow a lowest-responsive-and-responsible criterion, with pricing evaluated per unit of measure and firm for 15 days post-award, with price escalation or de-escalation considered thereafter on a six-month basis using USDA Agricultural Marketing Service data.
