UNSPSC 50621836: Non GMO marrow bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO marrow 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 50621836 Non GMO marrow bean purees is a Commodity code that frames state and local procurement of prepared food components for institutional meal service, particularly school nutrition programs and state-operated facilities. Recent solicitations under this code show school districts and state health agencies sourcing canned and packaged food products—including beans, tomatoes, produce, proteins, and consumable supplies—for cafeteria operations, state hospitals, and supported living centers. The mix of issuing bodies spans independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Georgia Department of Education), and county boards of education. School districts dominate activity, with multiple districts posting annual or quarterly food procurement RFPs and ITBs; Texas HHSC and Oregon ODOC appear as repeat state buyers.

Geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with Texas and Georgia showing the most recent solicitation density. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes—7,616 cases with historical pricing at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest (due June 19, 2026)—and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories including fresh and frozen produce, meat and seafood, milk and dairy, and seasonings serving four school locations (due June 15, 2026). The Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts shows estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026). Procurement activity reflects steady institutional demand with contract periods typically July-June aligned to school fiscal years, firm fixed pricing structures with limited midterm adjustment provisions tied to USDA indices or third-party market data, and multi-vendor sourcing for line-item competition rather than single-source awards.
