UNSPSC 50591806: Dried Non GMO black beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO black 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 50591806 Dried Non GMO black beans is a Commodity code representing a single food product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader school nutrition, institutional food service, and senior meal programs. State and local buyers acquire dried non-GMO black beans through solicitations spanning school districts' child nutrition contracts, state health and human services facilities, county senior meal programs, and municipalities supplying institutional food service. The product appears consistently as one item among hundreds in larger grocery, produce, or food-supply RFPs and ITBs rather than as a standalone solicitation; procurement offices bundle dried beans with fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, proteins, and condiments to meet National School Lunch Program and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed goods), and HACCP food-safety protocols.

Recent opportunities show activity across multiple states and jurisdiction types. The City of Bridgeport's Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items (RFP BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services across over 1,100 line items; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables to stock the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) alongside similar food-commodity contracts; and Hillsborough County, Florida awarded a three-year senior meal preparation and delivery contract (ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026) valued at $17.8 million. The State of Georgia and Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi also posted food and kitchen-product solicitations in the past six months. Geographic activity spans Florida, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Mississippi, with school districts and county governments as the primary issuing bodies, alongside state institutional-care facilities.
