UNSPSC 50621806: Non GMO black bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO black 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 50621806 Non GMO black bean purees is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable legume products and processed bean preparations for institutional food service. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on consumables for state-operated facilities—primarily state supported living centers, state hospitals, correctional institutions, and school nutrition programs. Issuing bodies span Texas health and human services agencies, Oregon corrections and procurement divisions, Georgia school districts and state procurement offices, and county boards of commissioners. Work solicited includes not only bean purees and specialty prepared legume items but also broader categories of canned proteins, dried goods, and frozen prepared foods typically procured as line items within larger food service contracts. Recent opportunities reflect consolidated procurement strategies where bean purees and similar commodity proteins compete against other shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, and condiments as part of comprehensive food supply agreements.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for consumable foods and supplemental food products for state supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso, with bids posted in August and June 2026 and response dates ranging from August 25 to July 13, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas, with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026. In Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools posted a school nutrition food bid due June 15, 2026, and Burke County Public Schools sought sealed bids for a comprehensive grocery procurement with a sealed-bid deadline of June 5, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) for food items due October 19, 2026. Oregon's Department of Corrections posted a canned tomatoes procurement in June 2026, representative of commodity-level food service consolidation where bean purees would typically appear as one line item among dozens. An Illinois state procurement for weekly food orders (FY-27 IVHQ) was posted in June 2026 with a due date of June 26, 2026, though detailed specifications were not disclosed. The Oregon potato procurement (S2910000017460, posted July 17, 2026, due July 27, 2026) shows issuing-body and scope detail insufficient to assess alignment with the bean puree commodity.
