UNSPSC 50621850: Non GMO wax bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO wax 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 50621850 Non GMO wax bean purees (Commodity) describes shelf-stable and fresh produce items purchased by state and local agencies for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show the code is being applied to a much broader range of consumable food products, from frozen entrees and dairy to canned vegetables, proteins, and food service supplies. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through state health and human services departments operating correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and hospitals, alongside county boards of education, school districts, and county departments of community services. Food procurement under the code typically covers bulk institutional purchases spanning dozens to hundreds of line items with firm fixed pricing, delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, F.O.B. Destination terms, and multi-year contract terms with renewal options. Bidders face compliance requirements including debarment and suspension certifications, E-Verify verification, product specification conformance (often USDA Grade A or B standards), liability insurance minimums, and HACCP food safety plan implementation.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for consumable foods at state-supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso with response dates in August 2026 and historical contract values reaching $1.5 million annually, while the Texas Comptroller's office issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products across Texas Department of Criminal Justice warehouse locations. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia posted an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods due October 19, 2026, and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia solicited a comprehensive school food bid due June 15, 2026. Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia, sought bids on nearly 400 line items for school nutrition across five schools due June 5, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, and the State of Illinois solicited quarterly food orders for July-September 2026 due June 26, 2026. School districts and institutional food service operations dominate the issuing body mix, with state correctional and health facilities representing the largest sustained buyer segment.
