UNSPSC 50581851: Non GMO winged beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO winged 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 50581851 Non GMO winged beans (Commodity) covers fresh produce supplied to state and local food service operations, though the recent opportunity record shows minimal direct solicitation for this specific commodity. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices that source fresh fruits and vegetables to support National School Lunch Programs, regional park concessions, healthcare facility food services, and general institutional dining. The work involves line-item procurement of produce meeting food-safety compliance, freshness guarantees, delivery scheduling, and increasingly, domestic sourcing and nutritional-quality preferences such as low-sodium, whole-grain, and additive-free formulations.

Recent activity shows produce procurement across Georgia, Florida, and other states, though the opportunities record contains no solicitation explicitly naming winged beans or comparable specialty legumes. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for line-by-line food bids covering approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits, due June 8, 2026, emphasizing domestic sourcing and whole-grain options; Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) solicited produce proposals for 2026–2027, due August 21, 2026; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025, requiring diverse food and beverage options. The State of Georgia also requested bids on food, supplies, and kitchen products, due June 22, 2026. The absence of winged-bean–specific opportunities suggests this commodity trades in a narrow subset of institutional food-service channels or is sourced under broader produce or specialty-item categories rather than as a line item.
