UNSPSC 50621845: Non GMO pole bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO pole 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 50621845 Non GMO pole bean purees, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no recent opportunities directly soliciting non-GMO pole bean purees or any pole bean purees under this code. State and local purchasing under UNSPSC 50621845 does not surface in the recent contract record provided.

The code's nominal scope—specialized processed vegetable products meeting non-GMO specifications—sits within a broader category of packaged food ingredients used by institutional food service operations. However, the recent opportunities tagged to this code span general grocery procurement, fresh produce, canned tomatoes, dairy, proteins, and cafeteria staples for school districts, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and health and human services agencies across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri. None of these solicitations name non-GMO pole bean purees as a line item or specify procurement of specialty bean purees at any tier. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity and the actual purchasing activity suggests either misclassification in state and local procurement systems or that non-GMO pole bean purees are purchased infrequently and at a volume too small to warrant dedicated solicitations. Business development interest in this code should remain on watch; pursue activity only if a specific RFP, IFB, or RFQ names the product explicitly.
