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, does not reflect the actual scope of food procurement activity posted under this classification by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged to this code include consumable foods for state-supported living centers and school nutrition programs, but none specifically solicit pole bean purees or purees of any kind. Instead, the nine most recent state and local opportunities frame shelf-stable and prepared foods more broadly — canned tomatoes, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and food service supplies across quantities ranging from 1 case to over 7,600 cases. The issuing bodies are predominantly Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Comptroller's office procuring for the Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia counties and school districts (Gwinnett County, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), Oregon state agencies (Department of Corrections), and the State of Illinois. Texas dominates the recent activity with four posted opportunities between May and October 2026, followed by Georgia with three, and single postings from Oregon and Illinois.

Representative recent opportunities show the pattern clearly: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026, for consumables for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), soliciting 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; the Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB on June 5, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026) with a previous purchase at $13.75 per case; and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia posted an IFB on May 19, 2026, for a comprehensive school nutrition food bid across multiple categories (bids due June 15, 2026) encompassing nearly 400 line items. None of the nine opportunities posted between May and October 2026 explicitly solicited pole bean purees. The code shows little relevant recent state and local activity aligned to its nominal scope.
