UNSPSC 50586811: Non GMO bean sprouts

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO bean sprouts. 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 50586811 Non GMO bean sprouts is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local institutions, though recent solicitations under this code show a broader scope of fresh fruits and vegetables than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments buy this product through food-service contracts at parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and state institutional cafeterias. Issuing bodies include county park departments, school districts, state procurement offices, and regional healthcare coalitions, typically bundling fresh produce into larger food-supply agreements rather than issuing standalone vegetable contracts. The work solicited ranges from single-item fresh-produce proposals to multi-category food-service bids that include vegetables, fruits, dairy, meats, and non-food supplies, with contracts running twelve months or longer and renewal options common.

Recent activity spans multiple states and institution types. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) posted October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025, with a local-vendor preference worth 10 points and a three-year term plus two one-year renewal options. Marion Health Care Coalition issued a produce proposals solicitation posted August 7, 2026 with proposals due August 21, 2026 covering fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 period. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 response date. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 due June 8, 2026, seeking approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits across three schools for the 2026-2027 National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, with domestic sourcing preferences and whole-grain emphasis. The recent opportunities show activity in Florida and Georgia, with school districts and park systems emphasizing food-safety compliance, USDA specifications, and vendor insurance requirements.
