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 is a Commodity code capturing dried legume products that state and local governments procure primarily through food service and institutional feeding programs. Recent solicitations show the code embedded within broader food-supply contracts rather than as standalone bean purchases; cannellini beans appear as line items within school lunch programs, healthcare facility food service, and park concession operations. The issuing bodies are mixed — school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices all solicit food products under this code as part of their operational food purchasing. State and local governments buy these products to meet menu requirements, nutrition standards (including USDA National School Lunch Program compliance), and dietary diversity mandates across K–12 schools, regional parks with food service, healthcare facilities, and state institutional feeding operations.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Florida based on recent postings. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on May 11, 2026 for line-by-line food bids covering 300+ food items including vegetables and legumes, with bids due June 8, 2026; the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 due June 22, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025, emphasizing menu variety and food safety compliance, with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points for vendors meeting Collier or Lee County residency criteria. Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026. Cannellini beans in these contexts compete as commodity-line items within larger food-supply awards rather than standalone specialty purchases, and pricing typically rolls into monthly gross-receipts reporting or line-item competitive bidding tied to USDA commodity pricing benchmarks.
