UNSPSC 50621802: Non GMO appaloosa bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO appaloosa 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 50621802 Non GMO appaloosa bean purees (Commodity) sees sporadic state and local procurement activity focused on institutional food service supply, particularly school nutrition programs and state-managed facilities. The code captures purchases of specialty bean products for cafeteria operations, though recent opportunities reflect broader food procurement rather than appaloosa bean purees specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this commodity span school districts, state health and human services agencies managing residential facilities, state departments of corrections, and Veterans Home operators across multiple states. School districts dominate the recent activity, with nutrition programs at districts such as Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Burke County Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Schools (Georgia), and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issuing multi-category food procurement RFPs and IFBs that bundle specialty ingredients alongside commodity items. State agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, and Georgia procurement divisions also post food supply solicitations.

Geographic spread concentrates in the South and Midwest, with recent opportunities from Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ food procurements), Georgia (school districts in Liberty, Burke, Muscogee, and Douglas Counties), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Illinois (Veterans Home in Quincy), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB, response due July 13, 2026, prior period value $1.5 million), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (IFB, response due April 27, 2026, covering 45 schools and distribution centers), and Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services grocery solicitations (IFB, response due April 29, 2026, covering over 900 food line items). The code shows no activity specific to appaloosa bean purees as a standalone product; the recent opportunities bundle specialty legumes and prepared items within broader institutional food service contracts where bean products may appear as one ingredient among hundreds of food line items.
