UNSPSC 50611817: Canned or jarred Non GMO dragon tongue beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO dragon tongue 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 50611817 Canned or jarred Non GMO dragon tongue beans is a Commodity code covering specialty preserved legume products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service operations. Recent solicitations show that this code tags food purchases for state-operated institutional facilities — primarily state supported living centers, correctional institutions, state hospitals, and school nutrition programs — rather than standalone dragon tongue bean procurements. The code appears in aggregated food and consumable bids where dozens or hundreds of line items span proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and supplies; dragon tongue beans, if called out at all, represent a single or marginal line item within those larger contracts. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, and independent school districts across multiple states.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables to supply state supported living centers and state hospitals, including HHS0018082 (Lufkin, due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017449 (El Paso, prior historical value of $1.5 million), both encompassing dozens of line items under which specialty items like dragon tongue beans would sit. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case in the prior February 2026 purchase), showing state procurement of preserved vegetables at volume. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). School districts in Georgia — Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (bid due June 5, 2026) — are pursuing comprehensive food bids across multiple categories. The code shows no isolated dragon tongue bean procurements; instead, it appears as a tagging artifact within institutional food-service consolidations where specialty items are buried among commodity staples. Vendors pursuing this code should expect participation in large, multi-line aggregated bids rather than single-product opportunities.
