UNSPSC 50581822: Non GMO french navy beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO french navy 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 50581822 Non GMO french navy beans, a Commodity code, encompasses dried legume procurement by state and local food-service operations, school nutrition programs, and institutional food vendors. Recent state and local solicitations frame the work concretely: Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 bid request for food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools includes dried beans and legumes among approximately 300+ food items; the Georgia State bid of June 22, 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products similarly encompasses preserved and dried proteins for institutional kitchens. The code sees activity from county parks and recreation departments procuring food for concession and water-park operations, school districts across multiple states, state purchasing offices, and regional health-care coalitions seeking produce and food commodities. Issuing bodies include school district boards of education (Early County Schools, Georgia), county commissioners' procurement divisions (Collier County), state purchasing offices (Georgia), and non-profit coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Local-vendor preferences appear in some jurisdictions—Collier County's North Collier Regional Park food-services ITN of March 6, 2025 applies 10 evaluation points to vendors meeting local permanent business-address and residency criteria.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast—Georgia (state-level and school-district procurement) and Florida (Collier County, Marion Health Care Coalition)—with school-district nutrition programs driving the largest volume of solicitations. Early County Schools' food bid emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options available. The North Collier Regional Park food-services ITN (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, due March 6, 2025) requires concession vendors to provide diverse, high-quality food and beverage options across multiple venues; while the scope spans fresh and prepared items rather than focusing on dried legumes alone, institutional food-service operations under this code commonly source non-GMO beans as a foundational protein and commodity ingredient. School lunch programs and institutional kitchens typically procure dried beans in bulk for cost efficiency and nutritional compliance with USDA guidelines, making this code active in education procurement cycles aligned with fiscal-year contract renewals.
