UNSPSC 50581808: Non GMO black shackamaxon beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO black shackamaxon 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 50581808 Non GMO black shackamaxon beans is a Commodity code. The code nominally identifies a specific legume variety, but recent state and local solicitations show little activity explicitly tied to shackamaxon beans as a line item. The three concrete food-services opportunities that appeared in the source — Collier County's regional-park concession ITN, Marion Health Care Coalition's produce RFQ, and Early County Schools' NSLP food bid — all solicit broad produce, food, and beverage categories rather than any single bean variety. When bean or legume items do appear in these bids, they are typically embedded within larger commodity groups (vegetables, canned goods, or miscellaneous pantry items) rather than specified as shackamaxon beans. State and local buyers tend to specify legume products by USDA commodity code or generic description ("dried beans," "canned beans") rather than by cultivar, making this particular UNSPSC code a poor match for typical procurement activity in the space.

Geographic activity is sparse and uneven. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering 300+ food items and non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program; the State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies bid due June 22, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) sought food-services vendors via ITN due March 6, 2025 for park concessions. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce RFQ due August 21, 2026. The issuing bodies span county boards of education, county purchasing offices, state procurement, and healthcare coalitions. Because the code captures a narrow cultivar rather than the broader legume or produce categories that procurement offices actually tag, activity under 50581808 is likely minimal; any beans procured under this code would appear incidental to larger food-services or produce contracts driven by broader commodity classifications.
