UNSPSC 50611809: Canned or jarred Non GMO blackeyed beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO blackeyed 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 50611809 Canned or jarred Non-GMO blackeyed beans (Commodity) reflects state and local procurement of shelf-stable legumes and canned vegetables for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs, state-run facilities, and correctional institutions. State and local governments buy canned beans and similar products primarily to support cafeteria operations at schools, state supported living centers, state hospitals, and correctional facilities, where these items serve as cost-effective protein sources for bulk meal preparation. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, county school districts, state departments of corrections, and county or city social services departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) appears repeatedly as a major buyer of consumable foods across multiple state supported living centers; school districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) also solicit regularly for nutrition program supplies.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with recent opportunities spanning institutional food procurement from mid-May through October 2026. Representative solicitations include IFB HHS0018082 from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), IWQ 140229 from Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a prior award of $13.75 per case (bid due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia for a comprehensive food bid covering fresh, frozen, and canned products (bids due June 15, 2026). Delivery typically occurs within 7 to 72 hours of order receipt, with F.O.B. Destination pricing standard across all opportunities. Bidders must provide multiple references, certify debarment status and E-Verify compliance, and maintain liability insurance minimum $500,000 per occurrence; Texas procurements frequently impose additional requirements including human trafficking prohibitions, cybersecurity training certifications, and specialized restrictions on contractors with abortion providers or gender reassignment service ties.
