UNSPSC 50581803: Non GMO azuki beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO azuki 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 50581803 Non GMO azuki beans (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific pulse commodity—does not align with actual buying patterns under the recent solicitations tagged to it. School nutrition programs, produce distributors, and food service operations across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri are actively procuring fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive grocery items for child nutrition and school lunch programs, but the recent opportunities show no explicit demand for azuki beans, GMO or otherwise. The solicitations instead emphasize broad fresh-produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus), proteins (eggs, meats, poultry, seafood), dairy, grains, and prepared entrees—with strong preferences for domestic sourcing, USDA compliance, HACCP certification, and local or regional agricultural products where cost and quality align.

The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county boards of education across the Southeast and South-Central United States, including Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and state-level procurement offices in Georgia and Missouri. Most opportunities are IFBs or RFPs with response windows of 30–60 days and contract periods running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. No recent activity specifically targets azuki beans or other specialty legumes as standalone line items, and the code shows no measurable procurement momentum in the 2026 state and local market.
