UNSPSC 50591812: Dried Non GMO brown lazy wife beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO brown lazy wife 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 50591812 Dried Non GMO brown lazy wife beans is a Commodity code covering specialty dried bean products for institutional food service. State and local governments procure this item as part of broader school nutrition and senior meal programs under national child nutrition statutes and commodity-support requirements. Recent solicitations show the code embedded within larger food and consumable-goods contracts spanning breakfast items, vegetables, proteins, and fresh produce, rather than as a standalone dried-bean purchase. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county health and human services departments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). These jurisdictions treat dried beans as one line item among hundreds in nutrition programs subject to Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP compliance, nutritional-standards certification, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel or freight surcharges.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and mid-South, with documented solicitations in Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi posted between April and June 2026. The Bridgeport Board of Education issued IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items (including dried beans within breakfast and pantry categories) with a June 30, 2026 response deadline and a July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract term; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 13, 2026 deadline and a historical annual value of $1.5 million; and Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce under IFB #SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026. The code shows limited standalone activity—dried beans appear incidentally within multi-category nutrition contracts rather than as dedicated procurements, and the Commodity itself does not dominate recent state and local solicitation volume.
