UNSPSC 50621844: Non GMO pinto bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO pinto 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 50621844 Non GMO pinto bean purees is a Commodity code that represents shelf-stable legume and bean products purchased by state and local agencies for institutional food service, primarily cafeteria and canteen operations at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and health departments. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying broader food-service categories where this code sits as one line item among dozens or hundreds—pinto bean purees appear alongside canned proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies in comprehensive food procurement for residential, correctional, and educational facilities. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies managing state hospitals and supported living centers, school districts managing child nutrition programs, state corrections departments, and county purchasing offices; Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears in multiple recent solicitations (three opportunities since June 2026), as do Georgia school districts and Oregon public agencies. The code shows activity in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon primarily, with school nutrition programs and state institutional food service representing the largest segments of recent activity.

Recent opportunities demonstrate the scope and issuing-body pattern. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), an IFB spanning 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with seven-day delivery required; an earlier HHSC IFB HHS0016792V2 (bid response deadline March 19, 2026) encompassed 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential three-year value of $4,500,000. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and canned vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia sought sealed bids for comprehensive food products across multiple categories with hundreds of line items (bids due June 15, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a previous purchase at $13.75 per case (bids due June 19, 2026). These solicitations treat pinto bean purees and similar legume products as line items within larger institutional food buys rather than as standalone procurements, and pricing is typically evaluated on per-unit basis with firm, fixed rates for the initial contract term.
