UNSPSC 50581841: Non GMO mung beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO mung 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 50581841 Non GMO mung beans is a Commodity code covering legumes and specialty produce sourced under state and local food procurement channels. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments buy mung beans and comparable fresh produce primarily through school districts, healthcare facilities, county recreation departments, and state-level food-service programs. The actual procurement activity spans fresh produce delivery, bulk foodservice ingredients for institutional meal programs, and concession-stand provisioning. Issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education), state departments (State of Georgia), county recreation and parks agencies (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Evaluation criteria commonly weight menu variety, food-safety compliance, domestic and specialty sourcing (including non-GMO preference), delivery reliability, and competitive pricing; local-vendor preferences and certified minority or women business enterprise status add evaluation points in some jurisdictions.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on May 11, 2026 due June 8, 2026 for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits across the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs for contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, emphasizing domestic sourcing and whole-grain and low-sodium formulations. The State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen-products IFB on May 15, 2026 due June 22, 2026 with scope and pricing in an attached document. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITN on October 8, 2026 due March 6, 2025 for diverse food and beverage provisioning at North Collier Regional Park and Sun N Fun Water Park, with a 10-point local-vendor preference and three-year contract term. The Marion Health Care Coalition (Marion, Ohio) solicited fresh-produce proposals on August 7, 2026 due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period. Buy American, food-safety compliance (HACCP plans, food-recall procedures), and E-Verify verification are standard compliance requirements across these procurements.
