UNSPSC 50581814: Non GMO cannellini beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO cannellini 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 50581814 Non GMO cannellini beans (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity under this code. The recent solicitations attached to the code are school nutrition and fresh produce procurements that do not name cannellini beans or any specific legume items; instead, they solicit comprehensive fresh produce, eggs, and grocery items for child nutrition programs across school districts and state agencies. The code shows no targeted demand signal for non-GMO cannellini beans specifically.

School districts and state agencies across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri are actively procuring fresh produce, eggs, and food service items to support child nutrition programs under broader commodity codes. Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) have each posted IFBs, RFPs, or ITBs for fresh produce and grocery items with response dates between March and June 2026, typically covering annual contracts from July 2026 through June 2027. The Bulloch County School District (Georgia) seeks locally grown produce within 200 miles; the Douglas County School System (Georgia) is procuring on behalf of 30 school districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Vendor requirements across these solicitations emphasize HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million depending on jurisdiction), firm fixed pricing for contract terms, and weekly or twice-weekly delivery to school sites. The procurement activity is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia dominates with Bulloch, Glynn, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas, and Early County school districts) and extends to Texas (McAllen and Austin school districts, Northside ISD in San Antonio) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI). None of the recent opportunities name cannellini beans or legumes as line items; they specify apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, eggs, and other fresh produce staples. Firms pursuing this code should verify that their specialty legume products align with actual school nutrition procurement patterns, as the current code assignment appears mismatched to the solicitation content.
