UNSPSC 50581837: Non GMO mat beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO mat 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 50581837 Non GMO mat beans, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce and food-service items supplied to state and local institutions, including schools, parks, healthcare facilities, and state agencies. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local governments buy produce under this code as part of broader food-service contracts and standalone agricultural procurement — fresh fruits and vegetables for school lunch programs, park concessions, healthcare facility operations, and state-level food-supply operations. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code span school districts, county parks and recreation departments, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions, with work distributed across diverse geographies rather than concentrated in any single jurisdiction.

Recent representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB on May 11, 2026 for line-by-line food bids covering approximately 300 food items including meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, and fruits for the National School Lunch Program with bids due June 8, 2026; the State of Georgia issuing an IFB on May 15, 2026 for food supplies and kitchen products with bids due June 22, 2026; Marion Health Care Coalition (MHCC) seeking proposals on August 7, 2026 for produce provision and delivery with proposals due August 21, 2026; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issuing an ITN on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, including concessions at soccer and softball fields, with proposals due March 6, 2025 (note: due date appears inconsistent with posting date). Activity spans Georgia (state-level and school-district procurement), Florida (county parks), and multi-state healthcare networks, with school districts representing the most frequent recent buyers.
