UNSPSC 50591811: Dried Non GMO bolita beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO bolita 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 50591811 Dried Non GMO bolita beans is a Commodity code that does not see current state and local procurement activity aligned with its scope. The recent opportunities flagged under this code span school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and senior meal delivery across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia—but the solicitations themselves (for fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supplies, prepared meals, and bulk food distribution) do not specifically name dried beans or legumes as line items, nor do they indicate bolita beans as a distinguishing product category within their scope. The code appears to be a mismatch with actual procurement needs being advertised.

State and local buyers pursuing these opportunities are school districts (Bridgeport Public Schools in Connecticut, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, and Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), and a state health agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). None of the representative recent opportunities—such as Fairfax County's Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Bridgeport's grocery items procurement (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), or Douglas County's food supply and distribution RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026)—identifies dried beans or legumes as a specific contract line, suggesting that dried bolita beans, if purchased at all under state and local food service procurement, are absorbed into broader grocery or produce categories rather than procured as a standalone commodity. Business development professionals should verify directly with issuing bodies whether dried beans appear in their detailed line-item specifications before pursuing opportunities tagged with this code.
