UNSPSC 50581848: Non GMO tamarind beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO tamarind 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 50581848 Non GMO tamarind beans is a Commodity code that spans specialized food ingredients and legumes purchased by state and local food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct demand for tamarind beans specifically. State and local procurement in this space centers on broader food-service categories—fresh produce, packaged food items, proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments sourced for school lunch programs, county parks concessions, healthcare facilities, and state food-service operations. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (particularly active in National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program procurement), county parks and recreation departments managing food concessions at regional facilities, county health care coalitions, and state procurement offices. Vendors in this commodity compete within larger food-service RFQs and ITNs that bundle multiple categories together; tamarind beans would represent a line item rather than a standalone solicitation.

Recent state and local activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Florida. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB in May 2026 for approximately 300+ line-item food products spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments with a bid due date of June 8, 2026; Collier County (Florida) posted an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025; Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026; and the State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. None of these recent opportunities explicitly identify tamarind beans or comparable specialty legumes as line items, suggesting the code captures niche demand unlikely to materialize as a primary pursuit unless bundled within larger multi-category food-service awards or as a specialty item requested by specific healthcare or institutional food programs.
