UNSPSC 50621822: Non GMO french navy bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO french navy 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 50621822 Non-GMO French navy bean purees is a Commodity-level code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. State and local governments buying under this code procure prepared bean products—primarily pureed legumes for food service operations—though the code name itself is highly specific and the recent opportunity sample shows broader food procurement patterns that do not isolate bean purees as a distinct line item or category.

The issuing bodies reflect school districts, state agencies, and state-supported facility operators (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home, state departments of corrections, county school systems). Geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Texas, Illinois, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri, but none of the posted solicitations explicitly names non-GMO French navy bean purees or similar bean-based products as a separately bid line item. The most recent opportunities in the sample—including Texas HHSC food and consumable bids, Oregon canned-goods procurements, Illinois quarterly food orders, and school nutrition RFPs from Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, and multiple Georgia school districts—frame food procurement at the commodity family level (canned goods, prepared foods, fresh produce, dairy) rather than at the individual product specification tier where UNSPSC 50621822 sits. The code shows no recent standalone or branded solicitation activity and appears to function as a catalog classification for vendors supplying bean purees into larger food service contracts rather than as a procurement driver in its own right.
