UNSPSC 50581821: Non GMO french horticultural beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO french horticultural 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 50581821 Non GMO French horticultural beans (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source provides sixteen recent school nutrition and institutional food service solicitations from Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri school districts, regional education consortia, and state procurement offices, issued between February and May 2026. These opportunities collectively solicit fresh produce, processed foods, dairy, proteins, and miscellaneous grocery items in broad categories — none reference French horticultural beans, non-GMO certification as a purchasing criterion, or the specific commodity this code describes. The solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, USDA compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, and cost-plus pricing models tied to USDA market indices, but none identify beans as a line item or specify variety-level horticultural classifications.

The absence of activity under this code suggests limited state and local procurement demand for non-GMO French horticultural beans as a distinct commodity line. School nutrition programs and state food service operations appear to procure beans, if at all, as components of broader vegetable or processed-food contracts evaluated on index pricing and fill rates rather than as standalone produce items. Vendors pursuing institutional food service contracts in this geography should focus on general produce distribution and commodity flexibility rather than specialized bean varietals. The code warrants continued monitoring, but current sourcing patterns do not support near-term pursuit based on posted opportunities.
