UNSPSC 50581828: Non GMO hyacinth beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO hyacinth 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 50581828 Non GMO hyacinth beans (Commodity) covers specialty produce items that state and local governments procure for food service operations, though recent opportunities show the code is being applied broadly to general produce procurement rather than the specific hyacinth-bean commodity alone. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments managing parks and recreation facilities, school districts operating nutrition programs, health care coalitions, and state procurement offices. The actual work being bought consists of fresh produce supply and delivery contracts for cafeterias, park concessions, and food-service operations, with vendors expected to meet quality standards, food-safety compliance, delivery timelines, volume requirements, and often domestic-sourcing or nutritional-specification preferences.

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing-body types. Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) in October 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025, emphasizing menu variety and local-vendor preference. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-vendor RFQ in August 2026 with bids due August 21, 2026 for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery through fiscal 2026-2027. The State of Georgia released an IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products in May 2026 with bids due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 with responses due June 8, 2026, specifying 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits, domestic-sourcing preferences, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, and Buy American compliance across three schools through June 30, 2027 with renewal options.
