UNSPSC 50591822: Dried Non GMO french navy beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO french navy 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 50591822 Dried Non GMO french navy beans is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are sourcing dried beans and related legumes as ingredient components within larger school nutrition, senior meal service, and institutional food supply contracts. The recent activity shows beans appearing as line items within comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, and food supply solicitations rather than as standalone dried-bean procurements—the code itself does not drive standalone purchasing patterns visible in current state and local notices. School districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and municipal food service authorities are the primary issuing bodies, with school nutrition programs accounting for the majority of activity. The scope of work spans K-12 school breakfast and lunch programs under the National School Lunch Program and Child Nutrition Programs, senior congregate and home-delivered meal services, and state institutional food service at supported living centers. All procurement requires compliance with Buy American provisions (typically 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), USDA nutrition standards including whole grain and sodium limits, HACCP food safety plans, and extensive documentation including product formulation statements, nutritional analyses, and state health inspections.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Douglas County School System RFP SN26-003 Food Supply and Distribution Services, RFP SN26-004 Fresh Produce and Eggs; Bulloch County Board of Education School Nutrition Grocery Bid; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce contract), Connecticut (City of Meriden Purchasing Department RFP 026-41 Commercial & USDA Foods with anticipated contract value of approximately $3.1 million), Florida (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB 26-00289 Senior Meals with estimated value of $17.8 million over three years), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center IFB HHS0017449), and other regions. Recent representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 Food Supply and Distribution Services (approximately $9 million annually, sealed proposals due February 18, 2026) and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicitation BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services Department (electronic bids due June 30, 2026, contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). Dried beans do not appear as the primary focus of any single solicitation in the recent record; vendors pursuing this code should focus on food service distributors and grocery suppliers competing for larger school nutrition and institutional meal contracts where beans are one line item among hundreds.
