UNSPSC 50581852: Non GMO yard long beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO yard long 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 50581852 Non GMO yard long beans is a Commodity code that does not reflect current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for yard long beans. The posted opportunities—spanning Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida from February through June 2026—solicit fresh produce broadly (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, citrus, potatoes, berries, and eggs) for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition initiatives. None of the posted RFPs, IFBs, or ITBs name yard long beans as a required or specified item, and the produce lists in these solicitations emphasize commodity staples and common vegetables suited to high-volume institutional demand. The code appears misaligned with actual state and local school food procurement.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school systems (Early County Board of Education, Northside ISD in San Antonio, Hillsborough County Schools in Tampa, Bulloch County Schools, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Glynn County Schools, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, and Douglas County Schools through the GEC Buying Cooperative) and state agencies (Georgia Department of Education). Most solicitations are RFPs, RFQs, or IFBs with response dates between March and June 2026. Contracts typically run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with renewal options. Estimated annual spending ranges from $600,000 (Hillsborough County FFVP) to $4.4 million (Douglas County GEC Area One). Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia, with additional activity in Texas (San Antonio, McAllen, Austin) and Missouri (Rockwood). Vendors must maintain HACCP certification, provide liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, comply with Buy American provisions, and meet USDA food safety standards. No yard long beans appear in any specification or bid schedule.
