UNSPSC 50581811: Non GMO bolita beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO bolita 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 50581811 Non GMO bolita beans is a Commodity code covering specialty legume products sourced for institutional food service and public concession operations. State and local governments procuring under this code purchase dried beans and similar staple proteins for school meal programs, healthcare facility operations, county parks concessions, and regional health coalitions. The issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education), county boards of commissioners (Collier County), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Solicitations typically embed bean products within broader food-service RFPs and ITNs that also specify produce, dairy, proteins, and kitchen supplies; individual line-item bids for specialty legumes appear less frequently than category-wide food procurement solicitations.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across the Southeast, with documented solicitations in Georgia, Florida, and implied multi-state scope through state-level food procurement. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on May 11, 2026, with bids due June 8, 2026, for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and miscellaneous products across the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, emphasizing domestic sourcing and whole-grain options. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 (proposals due March 6, 2025), for food services at North Collier Regional Park, requiring diverse high-quality food and beverage options; while the primary focus is concession operations rather than beans specifically, the scope includes produce and food-service variety typical of venues purchasing staple ingredients. The State of Georgia issued a bid request on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with full scope contained in attached documentation. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce vendors on August 7, 2026, with proposals due August 21, 2026, for fresh fruits and vegetables during the 2026-2027 contract period. The code shows limited standalone activity for non-GMO bolita beans specifically; recent opportunities position the commodity within larger food-service line-item bids where bean products are one line among many.
