UNSPSC 50581804: Non GMO barlotti beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO barlotti 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 50581804 Non GMO barlotti beans (Commodity) represents dried legume commodities that state and local governments procure for school meal programs, regional health-care coalitions, and institutional food service operations. The recent solicitation activity shows school districts and county park systems buying these products as components of larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone line items. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 bid for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools illustrates the primary use case: barlotti beans and similar legumes are sourced as part of comprehensive protein and vegetable portfolios for child nutrition programs. The code also appears in broader institutional produce and food-supply bids where legume commodities serve alongside fresh fruits, vegetables, and other kitchen staples in multi-item purchasing vehicles. State and local issuing bodies under this code include school districts (primary), county park and recreation departments, county boards of education, state purchasing offices, and regional health-care coalitions.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, specifying approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and grains for school meals, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited food-service proposals via ITN in October 2026 (due March 6, 2025) for concession operations at North Collier Regional Park, with evaluation weight on menu variety and food-safety compliance. The State of Georgia posted a broad food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. Marion Health Care Coalition (state not specified in the source) sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026. School districts and county governments are the dominant repeat buyers under this commodity code, with contract terms typically spanning one fiscal year and renewal options.
