UNSPSC 50611833: Canned or jarred Non GMO kidney beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO kidney 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 50611833 Canned or jarred Non GMO kidney beans is a Commodity code that covers preserved legume products state and local governments procure for food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically requesting kidney beans — instead, the code appears to be applied to broader food supply contracts where canned beans may be among hundreds of line items.

School districts represent the dominant issuing body across recent food procurement activity, with numerous districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District) soliciting groceries and food products in early 2026. State agencies purchasing for institutional food service also regularly use related codes, including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for state hospitals and supported living centers, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois for veterans home operations, and the State of Georgia for general food supplies. Geographic concentration skews toward Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) requesting food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) seeking comprehensive food products across multiple categories for four schools with Buy American requirements; Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requesting Master Grocery K-12 products for 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens across Virginia; and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (posting March 31, 2026) seeking approximately 900 grocery line items for child nutrition services. Solicitations emphasize whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, USDA compliance, HACCP documentation, Buy American provisions where applicable, firm fixed pricing, and quarterly or semi-annual price adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index indices. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 to align with school fiscal years, with delivery requirements spanning weekly or more frequent cycles to multiple school sites or central warehouses.
