UNSPSC 50591816: Dried Non GMO china yellow beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO china yellow 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 50591816 Dried Non GMO china yellow beans is a Commodity code covering legume products purchased by state and local school districts, health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs to support meal services and food programs. State and local governments buy dried beans under this code primarily as ingredients for institutional food service—school lunch programs, senior meal services, facility cafeterias, and emergency nutrition programs. The recent opportunities show school nutrition departments and state health agencies sourcing beans alongside broader grocery and fresh produce line items, typically as part of larger competitive sealed bids that span multiple commodity codes and food categories. Buyers emphasize Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), HACCP plans, nutritional standards compliance, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel or freight surcharges permitted.

Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county nutrition programs (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), and city education departments (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases for the Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut). Recent activity spans the Southeast and Southwest—Georgia, Texas, Florida, Mississippi, and Connecticut all posted opportunities in June 2026.
