UNSPSC 50621819: Non GMO fava or broad bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO fava 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 50621819 Non GMO fava or broad bean purees (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. Of the recent opportunities surveyed, only one solicitation—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026)—potentially encompasses this commodity as part of a broader food and consumables category, though the specification does not explicitly call for fava or broad bean purees. The remaining opportunities in the dataset involve mainstream grocery categories (canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, general food supply for schools and corrections facilities, and cafeteria products) that do not reference specialized legume purees. State and local governments procuring under this code, to the extent activity exists, typically do so through institutional food service programs—school nutrition services, corrections departments, and health and human services facilities—where such products might supplement standard meal components or serve specialized dietary needs.

Geographic concentration in recently posted opportunities centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, driven primarily by school district and state agency food service contracting. However, the fava bean puree commodity itself does not appear in any of the representative recent solicitations. Issuers soliciting general food products include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions (Texas), school districts (Georgia, Missouri, Virginia), and corrections departments, but none of the posted RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs from June 2026 backward name fava or broad bean purees as a line item. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity, suggesting either minimal market demand for this specialized commodity in the public sector or that buyers tag such purchases under broader produce or food commodity codes rather than this specific Commodity code.
