UNSPSC 50611810: Canned or jarred Non GMO bobby beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO bobby 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 50611810 Canned or jarred Non GMO bobby beans is a Commodity code capturing canned and jarred legume products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service operations. The code sees activity primarily among school nutrition programs, state institutions, and corrections departments buying prepared vegetables as components of larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone specialty items. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple districts across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and other states soliciting canned or jarred vegetables—including beans, tomatoes, and mixed produce—as line items within comprehensive annual food procurements. State agencies including corrections and health and human services departments also procure canned goods in bulk quantities. The work solicited involves supplying canned legumes and vegetables to support daily meal preparation across dozens of school sites, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers, typically with weekly or on-demand delivery, strict USDA compliance (Grade A or B standards), sodium limits, and minimum shelf-life requirements of 12 months or longer at delivery.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System) and Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, TDCJ Statewide, HHSC Statewide)—with additional procurement from Oregon (ODOC), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' FY-27 IVHQ Quarterly Weekly Food Order (IFB, due June 26, 2026), soliciting branded or equivalent food items including canned goods; Texas HHSC's procurement for El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products under $1.5 million prior-period value; and Rockwood School District's Grocery Items 2026-2027 (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items including canned fruits and vegetables. The code shows substantial and steady procurement volume, particularly in school nutrition cycles aligned with the July 1 fiscal year start typical for K-12 districts.
