UNSPSC 50581805: Non GMO black appaloosa beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO black appaloosa 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 50581805 Non GMO black appaloosa beans is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty legume products purchased by state and local food service operations, school districts, health care coalitions, and county parks departments. Recent solicitations under this code show demand for fresh produce and specialty food items as components of broader food service contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases. State and local buyers use this code when procuring ingredients for institutional food service, including school lunch programs, county parks concessions, and health care facility meal operations. The issuing bodies span school districts, county governments, county parks authorities, health care coalitions, and state purchasing offices, with solicitations structured as line-item bids within larger food-service RFPs, RFQs, and ITNs that bundle proteins, vegetables, grains, and specialty items together.

Recent activity includes Early County Board of Education (Georgia) soliciting line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026 covering approximately 300 food items including vegetables and specialty proteins for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; the State of Georgia requesting bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026; Marion Health Care Coalition (Georgia) seeking produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for fresh fruits and vegetables; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issuing an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. School districts and state purchasing offices appear as primary issuing bodies, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, specialty dietary formulations (low-sodium, whole-grain, non-GMO variants), USDA compliance, and food-safety certification (HACCP, food recall procedures, biosecurity policies).
