UNSPSC 50601851: Frozen Non GMO winged beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO winged 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 50601851 Frozen Non GMO winged beans is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen vegetables procured by school districts and state agencies for child nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The code sees limited direct solicitation activity under its precise specification; most recent opportunities tag broader frozen and fresh produce categories that subsume this item type rather than soliciting winged beans specifically. State and local governments purchase frozen vegetables through school nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program), state institutional food service operations, and child nutrition services serving K–12 enrollment. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, consolidated county school systems, and state purchasing agencies. School districts dominate the recent opportunity set, with multiple Georgia school systems (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District issuing solicitations for food service products in the frozen and fresh produce family; Texas's Dallas Independent School District also appears as a significant buyer of specialty food products for child nutrition services.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued a multi-district cooperative procurement (RFP SN 26-004) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), closing March 4, 2026. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, due June 8, 2026. The City Schools of Decatur issued an Invitation for Bid for frozen foods and grocery items for its School Nutrition Program, due May 15, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri requested bids on over 900 grocery line items for child nutrition services, due April 29, 2026. Dallas Independent School District issued a Request for Proposal for various food products not available through main commercial bids, due April 2, 2026. These solicitations emphasize whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, USDA Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, and firm pricing with limited escalation provisions—positioning frozen specialty vegetables as commodity-level items within broader child nutrition procurement rather than as standalone line items.
