UNSPSC 50621821: Non GMO french horticultural bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO french horticultural 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 50621821 Non GMO french horticultural bean purees (Commodity) covers shelf-stable and prepared food products for institutional food service operations, specifically the canned and packaged items that state and local agencies purchase to supply cafeterias, dining facilities, and food-service programs at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and social-services agencies. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers acquiring broad categories of food and consumables—canned vegetables, proteins, frozen specialty entrees, dairy, condiments, and food-service supplies—through bids and informal quotes that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items in single procurements. The issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (particularly Texas HHS Commission), state correctional and criminal justice agencies, county governments, school districts, and regional social-services boards. State-supported living centers and correctional facilities appear as repeat buyers, with Texas HHS Commission posting multiple solicitations for supplemental and consumables food across its network of facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued three separate IFBs between May and October 2026 for food and consumables serving state-supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, with historical values around $1.5 million per year and potential three-year contract values reaching $4.5 million; the most recent, HHS0018082, closed October 23, 2026, seeking 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies for Lufkin. Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Gwinnett County issued competitive bids for comprehensive grocery procurements, with Burke County Schools soliciting nearly 400 line items for five schools under an IFB due June 5, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, solicited approximately 382 food line items for distribution across five geographic TDCJ warehouse zones under IFB 304T-26-300CF (extended to May 4, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections issued a focused IFB for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026) with 5 percent state-origin preference. Illinois and Oregon also posted food-supply procurements in June and July 2026, though details on those opportunities are limited in available source materials.
