UNSPSC 50591809: Dried Non GMO blackeyed beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO blackeyed 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 50591809 Dried Non GMO blackeyed beans is a Commodity code that rarely appears in state and local procurement. The recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried blackeyed beans or any closely related dried legume products. The opportunities tagged under this code span comprehensive food service categories—school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, institutional food supply, and child nutrition summer food service—none of which specifically name blackeyed beans as a line item or focus area. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited indicates that this Commodity code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local government procurement.

The opportunities that do appear under the code reflect broader food supply and school nutrition purchasing across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies. School districts dominate the recent activity: Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) have all posted grocery or produce solicitations. Other issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state institutional food service), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida, senior meal services), and the City of Dallas (municipal meal delivery). Georgia school districts appear most frequently in the recent block. The solicitations span IFBs, RFPs, and ITBs with response dates clustered between late February and late June 2026.
