UNSPSC 50601841: Frozen Non GMO mung beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO mung 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 50601841 Frozen Non GMO mung beans is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses shelf-stable and frozen food products sourced by state and local procurement offices for institutional food service, including senior services, school nutrition programs, and statewide food supply contracts. The code sees solicitation activity from county purchasing offices, state agencies, and school district boards of education, with Georgia emerging as a notable recent source of opportunities. The work itself spans line-item food procurement for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, senior services meal provisions, and institutional bulk purchasing, with vendors competing on unit pricing, delivery compliance, product quality specifications, and domestic sourcing preferences where emphasized.

Recent activity includes Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including vegetables, proteins, and grains) due October 19, 2026; the State of Georgia's May 2026 bid for food, supplies, and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026); and Early County Board of Education's May 2026 line-by-line food bid supporting school meal programs across three schools (due June 8, 2026). Vendors bidding on this code must meet delivery windows (often 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. weekdays), maintain temperature and freshness specifications where applicable, comply with Buy American and E-Verify requirements on contracts exceeding threshold values, carry specified liability insurance, and provide references and debarment certifications. Award typically flows to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on unit pricing, with price escalation requests considered on six-month cycles tied to USDA or CPI indices.
