UNSPSC 50591818: Dried Non GMO european soldier beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO european soldier 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 50591818 Dried Non GMO European Soldier Beans is a Commodity code representing dried legume products that state and local food service operations and school nutrition programs procure for meal preparation and ingredient supply. The recent solicitation activity shows this code applies to a subset of broader grocery and food-supply contracts — specifically dried or shelf-stable protein ingredients — rather than fresh produce or prepared meals. School districts, county health and human services agencies, and municipal food service departments issue solicitations under this code as part of larger nutrition-program supply chains, typically bundled within open-ended grocery or commodity-supply agreements that span over 1,000 line items across multiple product categories. The work involves procurement of compliant, specification-matched dried beans meeting Buy American domestic-content thresholds (commonly 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients for processed products), nutritional-label requirements, allergen restrictions, and cold-chain or warehouse-storage delivery protocols aligned with the National School Lunch Program or equivalent state-supported meal programs.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with school districts and state agencies representing the primary issuing bodies. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, covering over 1,100 line items with Buy American compliance and delivery to central warehouse and school sites on standard pallets); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and contract term September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia seeking fresh produce for school year 2026-27 (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items with firm pricing and three delivery locations); and the State of Georgia issuing a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026). School nutrition administrators conduct blind testing and require vendor documentation of USDA compliance, state health inspections, and nutritional analysis. Responses demanding firm fixed pricing throughout contract terms, prepaid freight, and Net 45 payment structures are standard.
