UNSPSC 50601850: Frozen Non GMO wax beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO wax beans that has 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 50601850 Frozen Non GMO wax beans is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen vegetable products purchased by state and local school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Based on recent solicitations, state and local governments buy frozen vegetables including wax beans as line items within comprehensive food service contracts that span fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, grains, proteins, and supplies to support school lunch and breakfast programs. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are predominantly school districts and boards of education—Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Dallas Independent School District all posted opportunities in the first half of 2026 that include frozen vegetables as part of larger annual nutrition program procurements. State departments also appear in the mix: the State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid in May 2026 and a fresh produce IFB in April 2026, though neither detailed frozen vegetables specifically in available summaries.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with additional solicitation from Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid posted May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026), which requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items including frozen vegetables to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools; Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services in St. Louis County, Missouri's grocery items procurement posted March 31, 2026 (due April 29, 2026), encompassing over 900 line items including frozen vegetables for the 2026–2027 school year; and Dallas Independent School District's February 22, 2026 RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026) to supply its Food and Child Nutrition Services warehouse for the 2026–2027 school year. School districts consistently require products delivered Monday through Friday during morning hours, compliance with HACCP plans and food recall procedures, Buy American provisions, liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and firm pricing for the contract period, typically running July through June with renewal options. No recent opportunities focused exclusively on frozen wax beans; they appear as single line items within larger competitive food service contracts where school districts award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders across multiple product categories.
