UNSPSC 50621800: Non GMO bean purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO beans. 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 50621800 Non GMO bean purees, a Class code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code is nominally scoped to non-GMO bean purees, but the representative opportunities posted between May and October 2026 show no solicitations explicitly requesting bean purees of any kind. Instead, state and local buyers are posting for broad consumable-food categories—prepared and shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, fresh produce, dairy, and food service supplies—under general food procurement vehicles that span dozens or hundreds of line items. The recent opportunities do not single out legume products, non-GMO certifications, or purees as line items or bid specifications.

The absence of activity under this code does not reflect dormancy across food procurement generally. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all posted active food solicitations in the same period. Texas HHSC issued two major IFBs (HHS0017449 and HHS0016792V2) with potential values of $1.5 million annually and $4.5 million over three years respectively, and multiple school districts (Ben Hill, Burke County) posted nutrition-program bids. However, when these jurisdictions enumerated food line items—from proteins and frozen vegetables to condiments and canned goods—bean purees did not appear as specified commodities. State and local procurement under this code shows little relevant recent activity; if bean purees are purchased by these jurisdictions, they are likely consolidated under broader food-service line items or cooperative purchasing agreements rather than solicited as a standalone commodity class.
