UNSPSC 50611829: Canned or jarred Non GMO italian type beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO italian type 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 50611829 Canned or jarred Non GMO italian type beans, a Commodity code, represents shelf-stable canned legume products that state and local governments procure primarily through institutional food service operations — school districts, state agency cafeterias, corrections facilities, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show this code is part of a broader basket of canned and shelf-stable foods (canned vegetables, proteins, condiments, and dry goods) bundled into multi-line-item food service contracts rather than purchased in isolation. State and local issuing bodies acquiring under this code span school districts, state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, and county services agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple food procurement IFBs recently; Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), and the State of Illinois have also solicited food supply contracts in the past four months.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026) covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with seven-day delivery required; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (response due October 19, 2026) for senior services delivery; and Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026), which while focused on a single commodity, illustrates the scale and specificity of state corrections food procurement. Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, posted June 11, 2026, cited prior contract value of $1.5 million for the prior fiscal year. School district activity dominates the Georgia market, with Ben Hill County Schools (June 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (May 2026) both seeking multi-category food bids that included canned vegetables and proteins as line items. Delivery and F.O.B. Destination terms are standard; Texas and Georgia solicitations require pre-bid references, compliance certifications including E-Verify and debarment status, and product sample or specification conformance documentation upon request.
