UNSPSC 50591803: Dried Non GMO azuki beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO azuki 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 50591803 Dried Non GMO azuki beans is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with minimal direct relevance to current buying activity. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code predominantly concern broad food service procurement — grocery supply contracts for school districts, meal preparation and delivery for senior services, and institutional food service — rather than the specific product line of dried non-GMO azuki beans. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Fairfax County Public Schools, and the State of Georgia have all posted opportunities in the June–January 2026 window, but none of the detailed summaries identify azuki beans or legume-specific sourcing as a stated requirement. School districts and state nutrition programs purchasing under this code are acquiring comprehensive grocery baskets that span proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and shelf-stable items; the code's specificity to dried azuki beans does not align with the actual scope of work solicited.

The issuing bodies are predominantly state-level departments (Georgia, Texas Health and Human Services), county school systems (Hancock, Douglas, Bulloch, Savannah-Chatham), city school districts (Bridgeport, Meriden, Fairfax, Dallas), and county commissioners (Hillsborough). Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia and the Southeast, with activity also in Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 30, 2026 IFB for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (1,100+ line items, firm fixed pricing, Net 45 payment terms), the Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution across 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual spend due February 18, 2026, Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with 200+ produce line items and June 26, 2026 response date, and the State of Georgia's open produce and grocery bids (May–April 2026 postings). The code shows substantial procurement volume across institutional food service, but vendors pursuing this taxonomy should recognize that opportunities are structured around full-line grocery distribution and meal programs rather than single-commodity sourcing.
