UNSPSC 50601848: Frozen Non GMO tamarind beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO tamarind 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 50601848 Frozen Non GMO tamarind beans (Commodity) encompasses shelf-stable and frozen specialty produce items purchased by state and local jurisdictions for food service operations, though recent activity under this code shows minimal direct solicitation for tamarind beans specifically. The code appears in state and local procurement systems alongside broader food-supply contracts, but the solicitations tagged with this commodity code reflect general food purchasing for senior services, school nutrition programs, and state food supply chains rather than targeted procurement of frozen non-GMO tamarind beans. Issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), all sourcing food items through informal quotes (IWQ), competitive bids, and line-by-line procurement vehicles for meal programs and congregate dining.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Georgia, with Gwinnett County posting an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, the State of Georgia posting a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026, and Early County Board of Education posting line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026 for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support. None of these solicitations explicitly names tamarind beans as a line item; the code's presence in the state and local system does not correlate with active demand for this specific commodity in recent Georgia procurement. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether tamarind beans are actually being sourced under separate specialized produce bids or whether the code assignment reflects data misalignment rather than market opportunity.
