UNSPSC 50611835: Canned or jarred Non GMO madeira/madera beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO madeira/madera 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 50611835 Canned or jarred Non GMO madeira/madera beans is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within dried-bean procurement — state and local governments buy this item as part of broader food-service contracts for institutional dining, school nutrition programs, and facility foodservice operations. Recent solicitations show the code embedded within much larger food-supply RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs where canned and jarred beans appear as line items alongside proteins, produce, dairy, and prepared foods rather than as standalone procurements. The issuing-body mix spans school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department), and special-purpose facilities (Texas state-supported living centers, Texas state hospitals). School districts dominate recent activity, typically bundling canned beans with hundreds of other grocery line items in annual food-service contracts supporting child nutrition programs.

Geographic spread centers on the South and Southwest, with Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Muscogee County) posting the densest recent activity, followed by Texas (HHSC statewide, TDCJ, school districts), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Oregon (ODOC). Illinois, Virginia, and other states appear less frequently in the recent record. Representative recent opportunities include Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services seeking approximately 200 grocery line items including specialty items for the 2026-27 school year (electronic bid submission by April 29, 2026, IFB format); Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring 210 supplemental food and consumable line items statewide for state hospitals and supported living centers with responses due July 11, 2026 (IFB HHS0017449); and Fairfax County Public Schools soliciting a Master Grocery K-12 contract covering multiple food categories for 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens with sealed bids due April 27, 2026 (IFB 2000004323). These are demand-driven contracts with firm-fixed pricing for initial periods, allowance for mid-term adjustments tied to commodity-price indices or manufacturer increases, and multi-year renewal options. No specific contract values tied to the bean commodity alone are disclosed — beans are priced as individual line items within much larger annual food-service commitments ranging from approximately $1.5 million to $9 million district-wide.
