UNSPSC 50611812: Canned or jarred Non GMO brown lazy wife beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO brown lazy wife 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 50611812 Canned or jarred non-GMO brown lazy wife beans is a Commodity code that covers preserved legumes and beans procured primarily by state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, and school districts to supply institutional food service operations, including dining facilities, canteens, and cafeteria kitchens. The actual procurement activity under the code spans a broader set of canned and jarred shelf-stable food items—proteins, vegetables, legumes, condiments, and sauces—rather than the narrow brown lazy wife beans category alone. State and local buyers solicit these items through IFBs and IWQs, typically requiring firm fixed pricing on a per-unit basis, FOB Destination delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order placement, and compliance with USDA grading standards, FDA labeling, and nutritional specifications such as low sodium and shelf-life minimums. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas, Illinois), state corrections departments (Oregon), state and county school districts (Georgia, Texas), and county social services agencies (Gwinnett County, Georgia). References requirements, three-year business history documentation, E-Verify and debarment certifications, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 per occurrence appear consistently across solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables supplying state supported living centers and state hospitals—notably HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, $1.5 million prior-period value, due July 13, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, awarded previously at $13.75 per case). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited shelf-stable food products for senior services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), and multiple Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools—posted comprehensive food procurement bids for school nutrition programs covering hundreds of line items with delivery to multiple school locations. These solicitations typically require delivery Monday through Friday during business hours, impose 30-day firm pricing windows with subsequent adjustments tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or split line-item awards when justified.
