UNSPSC 50621834: Non GMO lima bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO lima 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 50621834 Non GMO lima bean purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to classify shelf-stable legume products and prepared vegetable purees for food service operations. Recent solicitations show that the code appears on procurement notices for broad consumable-food and food-service-supply buys, though the actual line items solicited diverge substantially from the code's specific nominal scope. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods and supplemental food products across state supported living centers and state hospitals—HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026), HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026), and HHS0016792V2 (statewide supplemental food and consumables, with an estimated three-year value of up to $4.5 million)—that bundle prepared foods, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, condiments, and food-service supplies together under single IFBs. The Oregon Department of Corrections and school districts including Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) have also posted food-procurement RFQs and IFBs. These opportunities consistently specify hundreds of line items across multiple food categories, with emphasis on USDA compliance, delivery-within-7-days requirements, and F.O.B. Destination pricing including freight. Issuing bodies span state health and corrections agencies, county purchasing offices, and school districts.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services is a repeat buyer (multiple fiscal-year consumables and supplemental-food procurements posted between May and October 2026). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County, Burke County, and Gwinnett County—posted food bids in May and June 2026 for school nutrition programs serving multiple school locations. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomatoes procurement (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026 at $13.75 per case from prior purchase) and a variety-potatoes RFQ (S2910000017145, due July 27, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences. A State of Illinois FY-27 IVHQ food order (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) and a Georgia state food-supplies procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) round out the regional spread. However, none of the nine opportunities in the source names lima beans, non-GMO legumes, or legume purees among their line items; the code shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal commodity scope.
