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 is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable packaged food products for institutional food service operations, including prepared foods, canned goods, dry staples, and consumable food-service supplies for state-operated facilities, school nutrition programs, and county service centers. Recent solicitations show that while the code nominally describes a specific legume product, actual procurement activity encompasses broad institutional food buys spanning fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, grains, canned vegetables, condiments, and associated disposable food-service supplies in multi-line-item format. Issuing bodies include Texas state health and human services agencies (the most active repeat buyer), county social-services departments, school districts, and state correctional systems. Procurement volumes range from dozens to hundreds of line items with annual values in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. Food service operations at state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior-services centers drive demand; vendors must typically meet USDA grade standards, provide firm fixed pricing on unit-cost bases, accept FOB Destination delivery terms, supply HACCP and compliance documentation, and meet strict lead times (commonly 7 to 30 days post-order). Most solicitations require three verifiable references and proof of liability insurance at $500,000 per occurrence or higher.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing as the most frequent issuing body across multiple state supported living centers (Lufkin, El Paso) and statewide hospital systems. Representative recent opportunities include: the Texas HHS IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, due October 23, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items to support the Department of Community Services senior-nutrition operations (35 line items, due October 19, 2026); Burke County Public Schools School Nutrition Food Bid in Georgia (nearly 400 line items across five schools, due June 5, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato procurement (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026 with 5 percent Oregon-preference applied); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (382 line items across five geographic areas, extended due date May 4, 2026). Buy American Act requirements apply to school district and some state facility procurements. Responsive bidders face 30- to 90-day firm-price floors, quarterly or semi-annual price-adjustment mechanisms tied to third-party market indices (USDA Agricultural Marketing Service, Consumer Price Index), and tight compliance regimes including E-Verify, debarment certification, and demonstrated past vendor performance.
