UNSPSC 50581843: Non GMO nuna beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO nuna 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 50581843 Non GMO nuna beans is a Commodity code, but recent state and local solicitations have tagged this code to school nutrition procurements for fresh produce and food service items with no specificity to non-GMO nuna beans. The code appears mismatched to the actual activity being solicited. State and local school districts, independent school districts, county school systems, and state departments of education dominate the issuing bodies pursuing fresh produce and child nutrition food service contracts, with school nutrition programs as the primary end user across elementary through high school campuses. Representative recent opportunities include the Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 127 schools with response due May 7, 2026; the Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicitation for line-by-line food bids supporting National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs with response due June 8, 2026; and the State of Georgia Invitation for Bid #4 for fresh produce procurement with response due May 27, 2026. School districts in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri account for the heaviest recent activity, with additional opportunities in Florida and across other states.

Geographic concentration skews toward Georgia (Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Glynn County Schools, and Douglas County Schools cooperative procurement through GEC Buying Cooperative) and Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District), with secondary activity in Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Most procurements are structured as annual or multi-year fixed-price contracts with renewal options, running from July 1 through June 30 to align with school fiscal years. Vendors must deliver Monday through Friday during restricted morning windows (typically 6:00–7:30 a.m. to 2:00–2:30 p.m.), comply with HACCP certification and Buy American provisions, carry $1 million to $2 million general liability insurance, and meet USDA food safety and nutrition standards including whole-grain enrichment and low-sodium formulations. Contracts typically allow award to multiple vendors on a line-item basis with pricing indexed to USDA market reports or held firm for 90 days to one year, with piggybacking rights for adjacent districts. The code shows substantial institutional demand but appears to capture general fresh produce procurement rather than nuna beans specifically.
