UNSPSC 50581810: Non GMO bobby beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO bobby 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 50581810 Non GMO bobby beans is a Commodity code covering dried beans and legumes purchased by state and local governments for food service operations. The recent solicitations show this code applied across institutional food procurement — particularly school districts and park concessions — where vendors supply fresh produce and pantry staples to support meal programs and public facility operations. State and local buyers under this code range from school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia) to county park authorities (Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida) to healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). The work encompasses line-item bidding for food staples as part of broader institutional food contracts, often bundled with other proteins, vegetables, grains, and supplies to support National School Lunch Program compliance, breakfast programs, and park concession menus.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with recent opportunities posted from Florida and Georgia as of mid-2026. The Early County Board of Education ITB (due June 8, 2026) solicited approximately 300+ food items including vegetables, fruits, and grains for three schools across the July 2026 through June 2027 contract year, with firm pricing for 15 days from award and escalation or de-escalation considered on six-month intervals. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITN (due March 6, 2025) for food services at North Collier Regional Park requiring diverse food and beverage options, with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. The State of Georgia also posted a food supplies bid (due June 22, 2026) with full scope and pricing in an attached solicitation document. Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals (due August 21, 2026) for the 2026-2027 contract period with pricing adjustments permitted based on seasonal availability.
