UNSPSC 50611841: Canned or jarred Non GMO mung beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO mung 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 50611841 Canned or jarred Non GMO mung beans is a Commodity code that sees activity in state and local food procurement, though recent opportunities tagged with this specific code reveal a broader mismatch: the opportunities posted show requests for general food supply, produce, and institutional food service across multiple categories rather than isolated mung bean procurement. State and local governments buy canned and jarred food products under this code primarily through school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state health and human services agencies, and veterans' homes. The issuing bodies span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county/regional purchasing cooperatives. School nutrition programs represent the dominant buyer category, with institutions procuring mixed-category food supplies on annual contracts running July 1 through June 30 each cycle. Canned and jarred products typically fall within broader food supply RFPs and IFBs alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods rather than as standalone line items.

Recent opportunities demonstrate activity concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia) with the most visible activity in Georgia school districts and Texas state facilities. Representative solicitations include the State of Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with historical value $1.5 million annually), Ben Hill County Schools' food bid (due June 15, 2026, covering multiple food categories across four schools), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (due April 27, 2026, for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato solicitation (due June 19, 2026, for 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case historically). Most school-level procurements run as IFBs with firm fixed pricing for twelve months and renewal options up to five years; institutions typically require Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, debarment certification, and general liability insurance of $1 million or higher. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are visible in the recent block, though some solicitations note optional HUB subcontracting plans without mandate.
