UNSPSC 50591810: Dried Non GMO bobby beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO bobby 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 50591810 Dried Non GMO bobby beans, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code represents a narrowly defined agricultural product line, yet recent opportunities in the broader food-procurement space—including school nutrition contracts, senior meal services, and institutional food supply—show no specific solicitations for dried bobby beans or comparable dried-legume line items. School districts and other state and local bodies purchasing food products under related codes are soliciting comprehensive grocery bundles, fresh produce contracts, and prepared-meal services rather than individual commodity inputs like dried beans.

The recent activity in food procurement spans school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional dining across multiple jurisdictions including Bridgeport Public Schools and the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut); Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia); Bulloch County Board of Education School Food Authority (Georgia); Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia); Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia); Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut); Douglas County School System (Georgia); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission; the State of Georgia; the City of Dallas; and the City of Meriden. These bodies issue IFBs, RFPs, and ITBs for items including fresh produce, groceries, eggs, meal-preparation services, and USDA commodity distribution, but none explicitly name dried bobby beans or single-ingredient dried legumes as line-item requirements. The commodity code may have historical procurement value in agricultural or institutional contexts, but no representative recent opportunities support current pursuit activity.
