UNSPSC 50621828: Non GMO hyacinth bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO hyacinth 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 50621828 Non GMO hyacinth bean purees is a Commodity code that in practice names a narrow food-service ingredient category, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect purchases of hyacinth bean purees specifically. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for broad consumable food procurement spanning fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared items for institutional food service—including proteins, vegetables, dairy, condiments, and food-service supplies—issued by state health and human services agencies, state correctional and education departments, county and municipal nutrition programs, and school districts. The issuing bodies mix state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), county boards of education and commissioners (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County, Burke County), and school districts across multiple states. Scope spans both competitive food-service procurement for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior-services programs, and school nutrition programs, with line-item counts ranging from 20 to 400 items per solicitation and contract terms typically running one to three years with renewal and extension options.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for food and consumable products to supply state-supported living centers statewide, including HHS0017449 (El Paso facility, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million) and HHS0017872 and HHS0018082 (Lufkin facility, due August 25 and October 23, 2026 respectively), as well as a high-value statewide supplemental food contract HHS0016792v2 (210 line items, maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, due March 19, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a large canned-tomato procurement (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026, with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent). Georgia school districts issued multiple IFBs: Burke County Public Schools (nearly 400 line items, due June 5, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools (multiple categories with Buy American requirements, due June 15, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for shelf-stable products (1,062 cases, 35 line items, due October 19, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity; the hyacinth bean puree commodity name does not appear in any of the posted opportunities, and jurisdictions appear to be using the code as a catch-all or misclassified tag for general food-service procurement rather than for a specific legume product line.
