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 that receives limited direct solicitation in state and local procurement; recent opportunities show school districts and other public bodies buying fresh produce and dried legumes as part of broader child nutrition, school lunch, and food service programs rather than purchasing mung beans specifically. The code appears peripherally in large food service RFPs and IFBs that encompass hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, grains, and pantry staples — notably in school nutrition solicitations where districts source vegetables, fruits, proteins, and grain products as components of USDA child nutrition reimbursable meals. The work spans fresh produce delivery to school campuses, farmer-to-school program support, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) participation, and multi-vendor food supply contracts. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts (independent, county, and regional systems) and state agencies; school nutrition programs dominate the activity, with districts ranging from 6,900 to 83,000 students sourcing through RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs on annual cycles aligned to fiscal-year food service operations.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in Florida and Missouri. Representative opportunities include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 127 schools with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance (due May 7, 2026); Bulloch County School District (Georgia) IFP for locally-grown produce within 200 miles supporting a Farm to School program (due May 4, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) RFP for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty fruits and vegetables to elementary schools with estimated annual budget of $600,000 and cost-plus fixed-fee structure (due March 11, 2026); McAllen Independent School District (Texas) RFP 2026-1029 for fresh produce across 31 campuses serving 20,000 students (due March 6, 2026, extended); Douglas County School System (Georgia) cooperative RFP SN 26-004 serving 30 districts with approximately $5.5 million combined estimated annual spend (due March 4, 2026); and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) ITB for 900+ grocery line items including produce supporting 19,000 students with electronic submission deadline April 29, 2026. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30, require firm pricing for the contract period with limited midterm adjustment provisions, and include Buy American, HACCP, food safety, and insurance compliance. The actual procurement of non-GMO mung beans as a discrete item or category is not evident in these opportunities; the code's relevance lies in institutional food service procurement where dried legumes may be purchased as minor line items within much larger multi-category contracts.
