UNSPSC 50611801: Canned or jarred Non GMO anasazi or aztec beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO anasazi or aztec beans that have been canned or jarred 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 50611801 Canned or jarred Non GMO anasazi or aztec beans is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure canned beans under this code primarily as part of broad food-supply contracts for institutional food service — specifically through school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and senior services operations. The recent solicitations under and near this code show that beans appear as line items within larger consumables packages rather than as standalone procurements; they are bundled with proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and food service supplies in comprehensive annual food bids. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (notably Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state correctional and criminal justice systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts and school boards (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state-level purchasing divisions acting on behalf of multiple facilities.

Activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 11, 2026, response due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and canned foods with a historical annual value of $1.5 million; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for County Senior Services (posted October 13, 2026, response due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, response due June 19, 2026) with delivery to Salem. Beans as a specific commodity line item do not appear explicitly named in the summaries provided, suggesting that when procured under this code, they are typically part of broader food categories where vendors bid on multiple canned-goods line items in a single response. School districts and correctional systems dominate recent activity, with contracts typically running July through June or September through August and including renewal and extension options.
