UNSPSC 50581806: Non GMO black beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO black 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 50581806 Non GMO black beans is a Commodity code covering legume procurement for state and local institutional food service, particularly within school meal programs, healthcare facilities, and county parks. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying fresh and processed produce items—including produce delivery contracts for healthcare coalitions, comprehensive food and non-food product bids for school nutrition programs, and food-service concession supplies for county parks. The scope encompasses both standalone commodity purchases and bundled food-service solicitations that itemize beans, vegetables, fruits, and related kitchen staples alongside proteins, dairy, and supplies. Issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education), county procurement offices (Collier County), state purchasing departments (State of Georgia), and healthcare organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts drive the majority of recent activity under this code, with multi-item line-by-line food bids emphasizing domestic sourcing preferences, nutritional specifications (whole grains, low-sodium, no added sugars), USDA compliance, and HACCP food-safety protocols.

Recent opportunities span Georgia and Florida, with school districts in Early County, Georgia and county parks in Collier County, Florida posting the most detailed solicitations. Early County Board of Education issued an IFB (PE55645NONST2027000000006) due June 8, 2026 for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and legumes across three schools for the 2026–2027 school year under the National School Lunch Program, with awards to lowest responsive and responsible bidders, firm pricing for 15 days, and allowance for piggybacking by other districts. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate (Solicitation 258360) due March 6, 2025 for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park, applying a 10-point local-vendor preference and requiring commercial general liability insurance ($1,000,000 per occurrence). The State of Georgia's food-supplies bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009) closed June 22, 2026. Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026 (Solicitation SP0040000017708). School district nutrition programs remain the primary driver, with emphasis on volume purchasing, USDA nutritional compliance, and domestic-sourcing alignment.
