UNSPSC 50611821: Canned or jarred Non GMO french horticultural beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO french horticultural 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 50611821 Canned or jarred Non GMO french horticultural beans is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy canned beans under this code primarily as part of broader institutional food-service procurement — the recent opportunities show beans embedded in large consumables bids for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The work is administrative; issuing bodies source shelf-stable canned goods in bulk to feed residents, inmates, students, and clients across multiple facilities. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and county departments of community services. Vendors respond to line-item bids for canned beans as one product among dozens or hundreds of food and supply items, with pricing evaluated per unit (typically per case) and awards often made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on an F.O.B. Destination basis with delivery within 72 hours to 30 days depending on the customer's location and operational requirements.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; the agency also posted IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products across multiple state supported living centers with a historical annual value of $1.5 million. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued IWQ 140229 on October 13, 2026 for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products due October 19, 2026, delivering to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid on June 5, 2026 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (solicitation S2910000017145), signaling comparable volume in vegetable-canned-goods procurement. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each posted school nutrition food bids in May 2026 covering broad categories of meal components. The code itself does not appear as a line item in any of the recent summaries; the opportunities tag beans nominally under the code but do not isolate canned beans as a standalone purchase line — they appear as part of aggregated food service consumables bids where canned vegetables, proteins, and specialty items compete for award together.
