UNSPSC 50621814: Non GMO cannellini bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO cannellini 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 50621814 Non GMO cannellini bean purees is a Commodity code that represents canned and prepared legume products state and local governments procure for institutional food service—primarily school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and health and human services agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers using this code to source prepared and specialty food items alongside broader food supply contracts, though the recent opportunities block contains no dedicated cannellini bean puree solicitations. Instead, the code appears in mixed procurement contexts where prepared legume products compete within larger institutional food service RFPs and IFBs that span proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and specialty prepared foods.

Issuing bodies soliciting under related food commodity codes include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Douglas County School System, Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia; Muscogee County School District, Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home). Solicitation activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Florida) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon) with scattered activity in the Mid-Atlantic and upper Midwest. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving state-supported living centers statewide with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas; and Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. Institutional food service contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 on annual cycles with firm pricing for 12 months and renewal options spanning two to four additional years, with delivery requirements of weekly or twice-weekly service and compliance mandates including Buy American Act provisions, HACCP plans, and USDA nutritional standards.
