UNSPSC 50621803: Non GMO azuki bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO azuki 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 50621803 Non GMO azuki bean purees is a Commodity code that does not map clearly to the recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The fourteen recent opportunities span food service procurement for state agencies, school districts, and corrections facilities, but they solicit general grocery, fresh produce, canned vegetables, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods—not specialty legume purees. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted bids for canned tomatoes and tomato paste; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, state of Illinois, and multiple Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County) issued solicitations for broad-based food supply contracts covering dozens to hundreds of line items including fresh and frozen produce, meats, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees. No issuing body specifically named azuki bean purees, Non-GMO certifications, or comparable specialty bean products in any solicitation reviewed.

The code shows no recent relevant activity. None of the current opportunities indicate procurement demand for this Commodity line. The activity pool consists of routine food service contracting for institutional kitchens and school cafeterias, which typically source commodity-grade staple ingredients and prepared items from broad distributors, not specialty bean purees. Business development professionals evaluating this code should flag it as inactive under current state and local procurement and monitor for demand signals such as foodservice contracts with expanded plant-based or specialty diet requirements before pursuing vendors in this category.
