UNSPSC 50611840: Canned or jarred Non GMO moth beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO moth 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 50611840 Canned or jarred Non GMO moth beans is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure shelf-stable packaged food products under this code to support institutional food service operations — specifically, canned and jarred legumes and vegetables serving state-run facilities, school districts, and county social-service agencies. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers purchase canned or jarred products as line items within broader food-service procurements rather than as standalone commodity buys; the code sits within larger institutional nutrition contracts that bundle proteins, vegetables, condiments, and food-service supplies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (particularly Texas HHSC operating state hospitals and state supported living centers), county school districts, county social-service departments, and correctional agencies. The work involves responding to IFB and RFQ notices with firm fixed pricing on per-unit or per-case bases, meeting USDA grade and labeling standards, complying with food safety regulations, and committing to FOB Destination delivery within specified timeframes (typically 7 to 30 days of order).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued three solicitations between June and October 2026 — HHS0016792V2 (supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, maximum value $4.5 million over three years), HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center food procurement, prior-year value $1.5 million), and HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026) — all naming shelf-stable canned and jarred items in their line-item scope. Georgia sourcing includes Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 (1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables, due October 19, 2026) and two school-district bids from Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools (May–June 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a 7,616-case canned-tomato procurement (June 2026, prior award $13.75 per case). Bidding requires three-plus verifiable references, proof of manufacturer compliance, product samples on request, and execution of state-specific affirmations and compliance certifications (E-Verify, debarment, human trafficking prohibitions). Payment typically follows within 30 days of invoice and acceptance, with firm pricing locked for 30 days post-award and subsequent adjustments tied to published commodity indices or mutual agreement.
