UNSPSC 50621824: Non GMO green or string bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO green 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 50621824 Non GMO green or string bean purees is a Commodity code that covers plant-based vegetable purées and similar processed produce items used in institutional food service. In practice, state and local governments are procuring this code as part of much broader food supply contracts for state facilities, school districts, and correctional institutions rather than as standalone green bean purée line items. The issuing bodies reflect the diversity of state-supported institutional operations: Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities (state supported living centers), county school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), Oregon Department of Corrections, and Illinois state agencies. Recent opportunities show food service procurement clustering around state health and human services agencies managing residential facilities, county and school district nutrition programs, and state correctional systems, all of which source shelf-stable and prepared food products in bulk for institutional canteens, cafeterias, and meal programs.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted at least three active food solicitations since May 2026 (HHS0016792V2 for supplemental foods with a $4.5 million potential value over three years, HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical annual value of $1.5 million, and HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center), indicating steady procurement cycles. Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools' food bid due June 15, 2026 via IFB #26271; Burke County Public Schools due June 5, 2026) and Gwinnett County (informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items due October 19, 2026) are active across multiple jurisdictions. Oregon Department of Corrections issued a large canned tomatoes IFB (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case from the prior February 2026 award) with a 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-resident bidders. Illinois issued a quarterly food order for IVHQ facilities (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid and Burke County Public Schools' procurement each encompassed nearly 400 line items for multi-school nutrition programs with firm pricing for 30 days post-award and subsequent adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index indices. The Texas TDCJ cafeteria food procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) covered approximately 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas with FOB Destination pricing and delivery within 30 days of order.
