UNSPSC 50621829: Non GMO italian type bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO italian type 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 50621829 Non-GMO Italian type bean purees is a Commodity code that describes specialty food products for institutional food service and dining operations. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional facilities that stock canteens, cafeterias, and food service programs. The actual buying activity under this code focuses on shelf-stable, canned, and prepared food items—including beans, legumes, proteins, grains, dairy, frozen vegetables, and related consumables—that suppliers furnish for institutional kitchens and campus dining. The recent opportunities block shows that issuing bodies soliciting food products under related commodity codes span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and special-purpose facilities (state-supported living centers). Texas agencies—particularly the Health and Human Services Commission—are repeat buyers, with multiple open solicitations for food and consumable products across state supported living centers and state hospitals.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with recent opportunities also posted by Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), which covers 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery within seven days; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and sauces (quotes due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders receiving a 5 percent preference. School nutrition programs routinely solicit multi-hundred-line-item food bids covering fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared items for multiple school locations, with contract terms typically running July through June and renewal options available. Institutional buyers emphasize USDA grade compliance, FDA standards, specific sodium or fat content limits, shelf-life requirements, delivery within 72 hours to 30 days of order, and FOB Destination pricing with freight included; referential references and compliance certifications including E-Verify, debarment status, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence are standard.
