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 under which state and local governments procure packaged legume products for institutional food service operations, though recent opportunities show this specific code draws minimal direct activity — the recent record identifies only broad food-supply solicitations that span multiple protein and staple categories rather than targeted moth-bean procurements. School districts, state corrections agencies, state health and human services departments, and state veterans' homes constitute the primary issuing-body mix, with solicitations originating across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Illinois issuing RFQ 26497DVAQUINCB52821 for quarterly weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy (due June 26, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), and the Ben Hill County Schools School Nutrition Program requesting sealed bids under IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products serving four school locations (due June 15, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and multiple Georgia school districts including Douglas County, Liberty County, Burke County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Muscogee County have posted parallel food procurement RFPs and RFQs throughout the review period.

Opportunity activity concentrates in school nutrition programs and state institutional food service operations across the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with the highest posting density in Georgia (multiple school districts) and strong secondary activity in Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. The code itself shows little recent stand-alone procurement; canned or jarred legume products typically surface as line items within broader institutional food buys—multi-category IFBs and RFPs that bundle proteins, vegetables, dairy, grains, and prepared items under unified solicitations. A vendor pursuing moth beans specifically would need to position inventory and pricing as part of comprehensive institutional food-service bids rather than expect narrow commodity-level RFQs. Contract values for representative institutional food buys range from approximately $1.5 million annually (Texas HHSC El Paso facility) to $9 million (Douglas County Schools food supply and distribution) to $4.5 million maximum over three years (Texas HHSC supplemental food statewide), with payment typically Net 30 days post-delivery and pricing remaining firm for initial contract periods, though some solicitations permit midterm adjustments tied to USDA indices or Consumer Price Index benchmarks.
