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 describes processed legume products state and local governments procure as part of broader food service supply contracts, though recent solicitations show this specific commodity appearing rarely in isolation and instead as a line item within larger food procurement RFPs and IFBs for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and state health and human services facilities. State and local issuing bodies across the code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County and Liberty County Public Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Corrections), and institutional food service operations such as the Illinois Veterans Home. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, procuring food under broad commodity categories that encompass proteins, vegetables, legumes, grains, and prepared items; non-GMO black bean purees would typically appear as a component of these broader sourcing efforts rather than as a standalone request.

Recent opportunities show the code embedded within larger food supply contracts across multiple states. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and June 26, 2026 response deadline; a second HHSC IFB (HHS0016792) in February 2026 addressed supplemental food and consumables statewide across 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million and February 23, 2026 response deadline. Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 in April 2026 with April 27, 2026 response deadline, requiring bidders to supply 45 schools plus distribution kitchens. Multiple school districts across Georgia—including Liberty County Board of Education (April 29, 2026 deadline), Muscogee County School District (April 27, 2026 deadline for produce), and the Douglas County School System cooperative procurement (March 4, 2026 deadline)—solicited comprehensive food supply with estimated annual values ranging from $1.1 million to $9 million. The geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs and correctional facility food service driving the largest volumes of activity.
