UNSPSC 50601846: Frozen Non GMO runner beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO runner 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 50601846 Frozen Non-GMO runner beans is a Commodity-tier code that represents a narrow product line within state and local food service procurement, yet the recent opportunities block contains no active solicitations specifically for frozen non-GMO runner beans. Instead, the eight most recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 target broader frozen and fresh food categories — fresh produce, eggs, grocery items, and comprehensive food supply contracts — issued by Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, City Schools of Decatur), a Missouri school district (Rockwood R-VI), a Texas school district (Dallas Independent School District), and state-level agencies in Georgia. While frozen vegetables and legumes may fall within the scope of these broader food service contracts, none of the posted solicitations identifies runner beans or similar frozen legume products as a distinct line item or procurement focus.

The absence of dedicated frozen non-GMO runner bean solicitations signals limited standalone demand for this commodity at the state and local level. When frozen legumes do appear, they are bundled within all-foods RFPs or line-item grocery catalogs rather than procured as a specialty item. School nutrition programs — the primary buyers of commodity vegetables in state and local procurement — emphasize fresh produce, staple grains, dairy, and proteins over specialty frozen vegetables. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor school district child nutrition RFPs and state food supply contracts for line-item opportunities within broader grocery or frozen-foods categories, particularly in Georgia and Texas where recent school nutrition solicitations show elevated activity, but should not expect dedicated frozen runner bean procurement under this code in the near term.
