UNSPSC 50626839: Non GMO long bean purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO long 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 50626839 Non GMO long bean purees (Commodity) does not match the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code. The recent opportunities show solicitations for broad food service categories—weekly meal components, canned and fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and kitchen supplies—but none specifically reference long bean purees or non-GMO bean products. The opportunities listed encompass general school nutrition, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and state health and human services centers that procure entire food service menus rather than specialized bean puree lines. The code shows a significant mismatch between its narrow commodity focus and the actual scope of work being bought under it by state and local agencies.

Activity under this code is concentrated among school districts, state corrections and health departments, and Veterans Homes in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, but the individual opportunities do not isolate long bean purees as a line item or requirement. School districts including Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, and Muscogee County School District have issued recent RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive food procurement (April–June 2026 response dates), and state agencies including Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Illinois Veterans Home have posted solicitations for food and consumable products with response dates between February and July 2026. Without evidence of specific demand for non-GMO long bean purees in recent state and local RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs, this code warrants close inspection for category miscoding or limited market applicability to the broader food service contracting ecosystem.
