UNSPSC 50621810: Non GMO bobby bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO bobby 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 50621810 Non GMO bobby bean purees (Commodity) does not reflect the work being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurements. State and local governments currently buying under this code are purchasing broad-based food service consumables — shelf-stable canned goods, frozen proteins, fresh produce, dairy items, condiments, and food service supplies — for institutional food operations at state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, corrections departments, county governments, school districts, and local government food service operations across multiple jurisdictions. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including canned proteins, pasta, rice, and vegetables (response due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across proteins, specialty entrees, dairy, grains, and condiments (response due May 4, 2026). School districts including Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia have also posted competitive bids for comprehensive food procurement supporting school nutrition programs across multiple campuses.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for food and consumables supporting state-operated facilities. Texas institutional food-service procurement includes state supported living centers and state hospitals; Georgia activity focuses on county governments, school districts, and county senior services; and Oregon corrections procurement targets institutional cafeteria supply. Delivery requirements uniformly specify FOB Destination with transportation included in pricing, and all recent solicitations require firm pricing on line-item unit rates with delivery timelines typically 7 to 72 hours after order receipt. Bidder qualification standards consistently require minimum three verifiable references, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, proof of liability insurance, and certifications addressing debarment, E-Verify, and human trafficking prohibitions. The code shows no standout set-asides, though Oregon's canned tomato procurement applies a 5% preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-processed goods and Oregon-resident bidders.
