UNSPSC 50611804: Canned or jarred Non GMO barlotti beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO barlotti 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 50611804 Canned or jarred Non-GMO barlotti beans is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable legume products that state and local governments procure for food service operations at institutional facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying canned beans as one line item among dozens in comprehensive food-supply contracts, rather than as standalone barlotti-bean-specific procurements. State and local issuing bodies acquiring under this code span state health and human services departments, county governments, school districts, and state departments of corrections. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, having issued multiple IFBs for consumable and food products serving state supported living centers and state hospitals. School districts including Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and Georgia county boards also source canned and jarred items as part of broader nutrition programs. Food solicitations typically require vendors to deliver within seven days of order receipt on an FOB Destination basis with freight prepaid, maintain compliance with FDA and USDA standards, and provide references for similar contracts performed in the prior five years.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, bids due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods including prepared foods and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables and proteins for the Department of Community Services, delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procured through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 food line items serving multiple warehouse locations across five geographic areas, with firm fixed pricing on all-inclusive FOB Destination terms. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia solicited sealed bids for school nutrition food (due June 15, 2026) encompassing hundreds of line items across multiple categories with monthly pricing on select items and delivery to four school locations. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a prior purchase reference of $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Activity also appears in Illinois and additional Texas facilities, though the code shows no specialized recent activity focused exclusively on barlotti beans; vendors typically respond to canned-bean requests as one item within larger commodity food schedules.
