UNSPSC 50611816: Canned or jarred Non GMO china yellow beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO china yellow 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 50611816 Canned or jarred Non GMO china yellow beans is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables, typically as line items within broader food-service supply contracts. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments are buying this product primarily through institutional food-service contracts—cafeteria operations, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs—where canned vegetables appear as one of dozens or hundreds of line items in comprehensive food-supply bids. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, state correctional departments, county school districts, and county social services departments. Most work solicited under this code is bundled within larger facility food-service contracts rather than standalone vegetable procurements, with vendors typically required to respond to the full scope of a food-supply IFB or IFQ to remain eligible for award.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide—notably IFB HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, posted June 11, 2026, response due July 13, 2026) and IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, posted October 16, 2026, response due October 23, 2026)—both spanning 20–22 line items including canned and fresh vegetables alongside prepared foods and supplies. Georgia school districts are similarly active: Burke County Public Schools (Waynesboro) solicited nearly 400 food line items for five schools with sealed bids due June 5, 2026, and Ben Hill County Schools (Fitzgerald) sought comprehensive school nutrition products under IFB #26271 with bids due June 15, 2026. Oregon also shows activity—the Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes on June 5, 2026 (bids due June 19, 2026), with a previous award at $13.75 per case to California Healthy Harvest in February 2026. Vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete within multi-line-item food-service contracts emphasizing USDA compliance, shelf-life certification, delivery within 7–30 days, FOB Destination pricing, and proof of capacity through three verifiable references and liability insurance documentation.
