UNSPSC 50581807: Non GMO black gram beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO black gram 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 50581807 Non GMO black gram beans is a Commodity code covering legume products for institutional and commercial food service. Recent state and local opportunities show this code applied to broad produce and food-service procurement rather than black gram beans specifically — the Commodity designation signals a narrowly defined product line, but the actual solicitations tagged under it span general food provisioning for parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and state operations. Issuing bodies include county parks departments (Collier County), school districts (Early County Board of Education), state procurement offices (Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). The scope of work in practice encompasses fresh produce delivery, packaged food items, dairy, proteins, and kitchen supplies meeting food-safety compliance, USDA standards where applicable, and seasonal availability provisions, with vendors typically responsible for packing, transportation, temperature control, and regulatory documentation including food recall procedures and biosecurity policies.

Recent activity appears across Florida, Georgia, and regional healthcare procurement networks. The most substantial recent opportunity is Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026 (IFB format), covering 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies for three schools across a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term with renewal options and piggyback provisions, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain bread per USDA 2024 Final Rule, low-sodium formulations, and no artificial additives. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park (response due March 6, 2025), with a 10-point local-vendor preference and evaluation weighting toward menu variety, food safety compliance, and operational qualifications. The Georgia state bid PE55645NONST2026000000009 posted May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) and Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposals posted August 7, 2026 (due August 21, 2026) indicate ongoing activity but provide limited scope detail in available summaries.
