UNSPSC 50611805: Canned or jarred Non GMO black appaloosa beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO black appaloosa 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 50611805 Canned or jarred Non GMO black appaloosa beans is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable legume products purchased by state and local governments primarily for food service operations at institutional facilities. State and local buying under this code centers on canned beans supplied to correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state-level procurement divisions. Recent solicitations show beans purchased as line items within larger consumables or food-product contracts rather than as standalone procurements; they appear alongside canned vegetables, proteins, dairy products, and food service supplies in comprehensive food-service bids.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with the highest concentration in Texas state facilities. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Consumables Foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, response due October 23, 2026), which encompasses food and supplies across 22 line items including prepared and shelf-stable items for campus canteen operations; the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato procurement (S2910000017145, approximately 7,616 cases, bids due June 19, 2026) demonstrating similar volume patterns for institutional food service; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for the Department of Community Services, quotes due October 19, 2026), which lists canned proteins and vegetables among 35 line items; and school district food bids such as Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive grocery procurement (IFB #26271, bids due June 15, 2026) covering dozens of product categories for multiple school locations. Most recent procurements are IFBs or IWQs with response windows of one to two weeks, F.O.B. Destination delivery, and evaluation based on lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value.
