UNSPSC 50581831: Non GMO jacob's cattle beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO jacob's cattle 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 50581831 Non GMO jacob's cattle beans is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty dry beans and legume products for institutional food service and public facility operations. State and local governments procure this category primarily through food-service vendor solicitations for school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and state food-supply frameworks. Recent opportunities show that dried beans and specialty legumes are being sourced as line items within broader food procurement scopes—most prominently in school lunch program bids that specify product categories, domestic sourcing preferences, nutritional standards, and low-sodium or additive-free formulations. The code also appears in general institutional food-supply contracts issued by state and county purchasing offices where produce vendors and food-service concessionaires source specialty ingredients to support meal operations and community facilities.

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing bodies. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid in June 2026 for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program items across three schools, including vegetables and grains that would encompass dried legumes. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a fresh produce and supplies solicitation in August 2026 with proposals due August 21, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited food-service vendor proposals via Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park concessions, with responses due March 6, 2025. The State of Georgia issued a general food, supplies, and kitchen-products bid in May 2026 due June 22, 2026. Opportunities under this code cluster in school food-service procurement (where specialty legumes align with whole-grain and nutritional-content mandates) and regional parks or healthcare facility food operations where institutional food vendors stock ingredients for diverse menu offerings.
