UNSPSC 50581833: Non GMO kidney beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO kidney 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 50581833 Non GMO kidney beans is a Commodity code covering legume products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, primarily school districts, county parks, health care facilities, and other public agencies operating cafeterias, dining halls, or food concession venues. Recent solicitations show the code is being used to tag produce and food-supply procurement across diverse institutional settings, though the specificity of kidney-bean sourcing varies widely — some RFPs and RFQs target produce broadly (fruits and vegetables, fresh and shelf-stable items), while others focus on line-item bids for individual food categories including legumes as part of larger commodity food baskets. The work involves meeting food-safety compliance, USDA regulatory standards where applicable, domestic-sourcing preferences in school procurement, and delivery-schedule commitments to multi-site institutional operations.

Recent activity spans school districts, county governments, and specialized health care purchasing coalitions across the Southeast and state-level procurement offices. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items including vegetables and legumes for the National School Lunch Program across three schools, with firm pricing, Buy American provisions, and HACCP compliance required. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited food-service vendor proposals via Invitation to Negotiate (ITN, due March 6, 2025) for North Collier Regional Park concessions, emphasizing menu variety and food-safety compliance with local-vendor preference weighting. Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) requested produce proposals (due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables, and the State of Georgia posted a food-supply bid (due June 22, 2026) covering supplies and kitchen products. Geographic concentration is strongest in the Southeast, particularly Florida and Georgia; school districts and county parks are the most active recent issuers.
