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, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity; the source contains no solicitations directly soliciting dried appaloosa beans or similar dried legumes by commodity type. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span broader grocery and food-service procurement—school nutrition contracts, senior meal programs, and institutional food supply—but do not isolate dried beans as a line item or specify appaloosa varieties. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity focus and the aggregated food-service scope of recent solicitations suggests the code sees limited standalone procurement at the state and local level, or that purchasing bodies classify dried legumes under broader grocery family codes rather than this specific commodity designation.

School districts and food service authorities across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia are actively procuring fresh produce, comprehensive grocery items, and meal-delivery services, with recent contracts from Hancock County Schools (fresh produce IFB, June 2026), Bridgeport Board of Education (grocery items including fresh and processed foods, June 2026), Meriden Public Schools (commercial groceries and USDA Foods via RFP, February 2026 deadline), and Fairfax County Public Schools (master grocery K-12 IFB, April 2026). The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued a large food supply and distribution RFP (estimated $9 million annually) and a fresh produce cooperative RFP serving 30 districts (estimated $5.5 million combined). While dried legumes and beans likely appear as line items within these comprehensive grocery solicitations, the source does not isolate appaloosa beans or provide evidence that this specific commodity drives purchasing volume or represents a distinct business opportunity under this code.
