UNSPSC 50611827: Canned or jarred Non GMO haricot beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO haricot 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 50611827 Canned or jarred Non GMO haricot beans is a Commodity code encompassing canned legume products that state and local agencies procure as part of broader food service supply contracts for institutional foodservice, particularly school nutrition programs and state-operated facilities. Recent opportunities confirm that haricot beans and similar canned legumes are sourced as line items within comprehensive food procurement solicitations rather than as standalone specialty purchases. School districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes represent the primary buying constituencies. The procurement pattern shows canned beans integrated into larger food supply bids covering dozens or hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared foods, with vendors expected to meet USDA grade standards, FDA compliance, sodium limits, shelf-life requirements, and delivery schedules to multiple institutional locations. Buy American Act compliance is standard across solicitations when federal child nutrition funding is involved.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, reflecting geographic distribution across school districts and state agencies. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services division's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), which covers NIGP food classes including canned goods; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products with bids due June 15, 2026; and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery items solicitation (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items. Oregon Department of Corrections similarly procures canned tomatoes and tomato paste through ITBs specifying USDA grades and sodium limits. School districts dominate the visible opportunity set, with multiple Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia districts issuing annual or multi-year food supply contracts. No opportunities in the block are tagged specifically to haricot beans alone, indicating that this Commodity code sits within broader family-level food procurement vehicles where line-item pricing and availability matter more than specialty product differentiation.
