UNSPSC 50581801: Non GMO anasazi or aztec beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO anasazi or aztec 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 50581801 Non GMO anasazi or aztec beans is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover fresh produce procurement broadly—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, and eggs—for school nutrition and child feeding programs, not specialty legume varieties. The code's name and the scope of recent solicitations are misaligned, indicating either a tagging error in the underlying procurement database or an overly narrow commodity definition that does not capture the full range of produce being sourced under this family-level classification.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies, with procurement concentrated in Georgia and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food and produce bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026); Northside Independent School District in San Antonio's fresh produce procurement for child nutrition (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026); Glynn County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for 16 school locations (IFB 27-02, due April 14, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's cooperative produce and eggs procurement serving 30 districts across Georgia (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two). Procurement activity spans Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, with school lunch and breakfast program support as the primary use case. Evaluations typically emphasize lowest responsive bidding, HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, domestic sourcing preference, and delivery reliability to multiple school sites during defined hours Monday through Friday.
