UNSPSC 50581826: Non GMO guar gum beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO guar gum 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 50581826 Non GMO guar gum beans, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve food service and food supply procurement broadly — cafeteria food service, produce delivery, and line-item food and kitchen product bids for schools and parks — but none explicitly reference guar gum beans or guar-based thickening and stabilizing agents. The issuing bodies posting under this code span county governments (Collier County Parks and Recreation Division), health care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), indicating that when activity does occur, it crosses multiple jurisdiction types. The geographic spread covers Florida, Georgia, and at minimum two additional states implied by the Marion Health Care Coalition procurement, though the source provides limited detail on which states or regions show concentrated recent posting.

The most recent opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (posted October 8, 2026, proposals due March 6, 2025), Marion Health Care Coalition's RFQ for produce vendors (posted August 7, 2026, due August 21, 2026), the State of Georgia's IFB for food, supplies, and kitchen products (posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education's line-item food bid for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026). None of these solicitations explicitly reference non-GMO guar gum beans or guar-based ingredients as line items or scope components. The code may be a tagging artifact or may reflect rare specialty ingredient procurement that does not surface in summary-level notices; vendors in guar-based food additives should verify directly with issuing bodies whether this code reflects actual buying intent before pursuing these opportunities.
