UNSPSC 50581845: Non GMO pole beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO pole 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 50581845 Non GMO pole beans is a Commodity code covering fresh vegetable procurement for state and local food service operations, including school districts, parks and recreation departments, healthcare facilities, and state purchasing cooperatives. The recent solicitations show that state and local governments buy fresh produce—including pole beans and other vegetables—as components of larger food-service contracts for school lunch and breakfast programs, institutional cafeterias, park concessions, and healthcare facilities. Work under this code ranges from line-item produce bids within comprehensive food-supply contracts (as in Early County Schools' request for 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits) to dedicated fresh-produce-only solicitations (as in Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposals). Issuing bodies include independent school districts procuring for National School Lunch Program compliance, county boards of commissioners managing park and recreation food services, state purchasing offices coordinating statewide food procurement, and healthcare coalitions supplying institutional kitchens.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Florida, and other states where school districts and county parks departments are actively soliciting produce vendors. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on May 11, 2026 for line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026, specifying domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations across 300+ items including fresh vegetables and fruits, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, requiring vendors to provide diverse fresh food and beverage options including produce. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-specific RFQ on August 7, 2026 with proposals due August 21, 2026. The State of Georgia issued a statewide food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 due June 22, 2026. School districts appear as the most active and repeat-buying segment under this code, with local-vendor preferences and Buy American provisions common in recent awards.
