UNSPSC 50581849: Non GMO tonka beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO tonka 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 50581849 Non GMO tonka beans (Commodity) encompasses specialty food ingredients and raw agricultural products sourced under state and local procurement, though recent opportunities show minimal direct activity under this specific code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code actually reflect broader food-service procurement — park concessions, school lunch programs, healthcare facility produce, and state food-supply contracts — rather than tonka bean sourcing in particular. State and local governments buying through these codes seek fresh produce, prepared foods, and food-service supplies for parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and state operations; the work involves vendor selection based on food safety compliance, delivery reliability, pricing, and service quality across multiple venues and seasonal demand cycles.

The issuing bodies include county parks departments (Collier County), school districts (Early County Board of Education), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). The most recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast, with activity in Florida (Collier County's March 2025 ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services), Georgia (state-level food supplies bid due June 22, 2026), and unspecified locales for Marion Health Care Coalition's August 2026 produce RFP and Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 line-item food bid. The Early County schools solicitation, posted May 11, 2026, exemplifies typical school-district food procurement under related codes — requesting 300+ food items (meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains), 60+ non-food and paper supplies, bread meeting USDA whole-grain standards, and temperature-controlled fluid milk delivery for the 2026–2027 contract year, with award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The Collier County parks ITN (posted October 8, 2026, due March 6, 2025) seeks a food vendor for multiple concession venues, emphasizing menu variety, food-safety compliance, and local-vendor preference (10 evaluation points) over a three-year term with two one-year renewals.
