UNSPSC 50611823: Canned or jarred Non GMO giant white coco beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO giant white coco 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 50611823 Canned or jarred Non-GMO giant white coco beans, a Commodity code, represents state and local procurement of shelf-stable protein-rich legumes for institutional food service and school nutrition programs. Recent opportunities show that state and local agencies buy canned and jarred beans as components of broader food supply contracts for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school districts rather than as standalone line items. The code sits within larger food-service procurement activities driven by school nutrition programs, state health and human services operations, and institutional food operations across multiple states. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, school districts of varying size, and county boards of education. School districts dominate recent activity, ranging from small rural districts to large metro systems, with purchases typically integrated into comprehensive food-supply RFPs or IFBs that encompass hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and dry goods.

Geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, reflecting both large state agencies and active school district procurement regions. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products supplying the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition products across four school locations, due June 15, 2026; and Rockwood R-VI School District's dual grocery procurement (IFB CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027 and CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYNOI20262027) seeking bids for over 900 line items and Net Off Invoice products, with bids due April 29, 2026. These procurements typically specify canned goods alongside fresh and frozen items, require firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods with potential midterm adjustments tied to manufacturer price changes or third-party market indices, and award on a lowest-responsive-bidder or best-value basis, sometimes on a line-item basis to multiple vendors. Buy American Act compliance is standard for school nutrition contracts, and vendors must meet liability insurance, HACCP plan, and federal compliance certifications.
