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 that nominally names a single legume product, but recent state and local solicitations show little activity directly requesting this item. The code appears in procurement records without substantive representation in currently posted opportunities. School districts, state agencies, and county purchasing offices issue regular RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs for fresh produce, vegetables, fruits, eggs, and comprehensive food service grocery items to support child nutrition programs, but black shackamaxon beans—whether GMO or non-GMO—do not surface as line items in the representative recent solicitations from Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida jurisdictions. The code's activity does not align with the dominant volume and visibility of produce contracting underway in K–12 nutrition procurement.

State and local food service buyers are actively procuring fresh produce through school nutrition programs, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and farm-to-school initiatives across the South and Southwest. Issuing bodies include the Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and the Douglas County School System cooperative group (Georgia). Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's IFB for line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026, covering 300+ food items with domestic sourcing preferences; Northside ISD's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce due May 7, 2026, emphasizing USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown product priorities; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million. Legume procurement does occur within broader grocery and produce categories, but black shackamaxon beans as a specified commodity lack visible recent traction in this market segment.
