UNSPSC 50581827: Non GMO haricot beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO haricot 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 50581827 Non GMO haricot beans is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code narrowly — the recent solicitations show school districts procuring fresh produce and food service items for child nutrition programs, not dried beans or legumes specifically. The solicitations posted under this code actually span broad fresh produce categories (fruits, vegetables, eggs) rather than naming haricot beans as a distinct line item. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an RFQ on May 11, 2026 for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with a response date of June 8, 2026; the scope included approximately 300+ food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments. Similarly, the State of Georgia posted an IFB on April 20, 2026 for fresh produce procurement with responses due May 27, 2026. The code shows active use by school districts, county education boards, and state nutrition agencies across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education—Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—along with the State of Georgia itself. Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri, with Georgia seeing the highest frequency of activity. The work involves sourcing fresh produce, eggs, and supporting commodities for federal child nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program) with weekly or twice-weekly delivery to school sites, HACCP certification requirements, Buy American compliance, and firm pricing over 12-month contract periods, often with renewal options extending up to four years. The code appears to be a catch-all category under which state and local procurement systems are tagging produce and food service solicitations that span multiple commodity types; haricot beans as a discrete product line does not surface in the recent opportunities reviewed.
