UNSPSC 50581835: Non GMO madeira/madera beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO madeira/madera 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 50581835 Non GMO madeira/madera beans, a Commodity code, represents dried bean products sourced without genetic modification, which state and local governments procure primarily through food service and institutional cafeteria operations. Recent solicitations show the code embedded in much broader food procurement — school districts, county parks, health care coalitions, and state agencies are soliciting dried beans and related products as line items within comprehensive food-supply bids that span proteins, produce, grains, dairy, and non-food supplies. The actual buying pattern reflects institutional nutrition and food-service operations rather than specialty commodity procurement; beans appear in context of school breakfast and lunch programs, regional park concessions, health care facility meal planning, and general state food procurement, where specifications often emphasize USDA compliance, domestic sourcing preferences, and whole-grain or low-additive formulations.

The recent opportunities span school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state departments (State of Georgia), and specialized health care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), with geographic activity concentrated in Georgia and Florida based on posted solicitations from May through October 2026. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering approximately 300 food items including beans and other staples for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; Collier County issued an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 for comprehensive food services at North Collier Regional Park with response due March 6, 2025; and the State of Georgia posted a food supplies and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. None of the recent opportunities isolates non-GMO beans as a standalone solicitation, and the UNSPSC code assignment may not reflect how state and local buyers actually categorize dried legumes within larger food procurement vehicles. Vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete as line-item suppliers within multi-category food bids rather than as specialty bean vendors.
