UNSPSC 50611831: Canned or jarred Non GMO jacob's cattle beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO jacob's cattle 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 50611831 Canned or jarred Non GMO jacob's cattle beans is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, but recent opportunities in the source show little direct activity for this specific item. State and local agencies soliciting under related food-commodity codes are predominantly school districts and institutional food-service buyers—including school nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies operating hospitals and supported living centers, and state veterans' homes. These entities purchase canned and jarred beans as part of broader food-service contracts that typically bundle dozens or hundreds of line items across proteins, vegetables, grains, and prepared foods. The work being solicited is institutional food supply and delivery, with vendors expected to meet USDA grade standards, maintain specified shelf life and sodium limits, comply with Buy American Act requirements in school settings, and deliver on fixed schedules to multiple locations. Issuing bodies range from single school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education) to multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts) to state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home).

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, with school-district procurement dominating the recent opportunity set. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) seeking food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under a fixed-rate structure with Consumer Price Index adjustments, the Ben Hill County Schools IFB (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food products across multiple categories with Buy American requirements, and the Rockwood R-VI School District grocery solicitation (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) using electronic NutriKids bidding for over 900 line items. The source contains no solicitations explicitly requesting jacob's cattle beans or any Non-GMO bean specifications as standalone line items, indicating this Commodity code sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity under its specific name; vendors pursuing this code should expect opportunities only as part of large multi-item food contracts where canned beans are one component among many, with pricing driven by competitive line-item bidding rather than category-specific demand.
