UNSPSC 50591802: Dried Non GMO appaloosa beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO appaloosa beans that have been dried for preservation. 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 50591802 Dried Non-GMO Appaloosa Beans (Commodity) represents a narrow agricultural commodity line within the broader food procurement activity of state and local school districts, county governments, and state agencies. State and local governments buy this commodity primarily as an ingredient for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations, where it appears as one item among hundreds in larger grocery and fresh-produce solicitations rather than as a standalone procurement category. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education, supplemented by state health and human services agencies purchasing for institutional facilities.

The recent opportunities block shows no standalone solicitations for dried Non-GMO appaloosa beans specifically. The Commodity code appears tangentially in broader food procurement RFPs and IFBs across school nutrition programs: the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 grocery items solicitation (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products RFQ for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) both solicit across hundreds of line items that may include legumes and beans, but neither names appaloosa beans or dried beans explicitly. Geographic activity is scattered across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi based on recent school district and state agency food service solicitations, but none document demand concentration in this specific commodity. The code shows little relevant recent activity as a standalone procurement vehicle; appaloosa beans, if purchased at all by state and local bodies, are incorporated into blanket grocery or food-service contracts rather than solicited by type or variety. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor school district RFPs and ITBs for nutrition program ingredients and institutional food-service facility contracts, where this commodity would compete as one item among many on a larger price list or approved-vendor roster.
