UNSPSC 50591825: Dried Non GMO green romano beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO green romano 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 50591825 Dried Non GMO green romano beans is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty dried legumes procured primarily by school districts and county school food authorities to support child nutrition programs under federal requirements including the National School Lunch Program, Buy American provisions, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act compliance. State and local governments procure dried legumes as components of broader food-supply contracts spanning vegetables, grains, proteins, and prepared foods delivered to school kitchens and central warehouses; the code appears as a line item within comprehensive grocery, produce, and food-service solicitations rather than as a standalone commodity acquisition. The issuing-body mix is dominated by school districts and school food authorities across multiple states, with occasional state agency and county procurement offices managing cooperative buying programs that span dozens of districts simultaneously.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) issued an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items with a June 30, 2026 response deadline, the Douglas County School System (Georgia) released an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts with a March 4, 2026 deadline, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce across multiple line items with a June 26, 2026 response deadline, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) posted a bid for 72 fresh-produce items with an April 23, 2026 deadline. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) sought a Master Grocery K-12 contract via IFB with an April 27, 2026 due date, and Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for comprehensive school nutrition products with a May 4, 2026 closing. The code shows no recent standalone dried-bean solicitations; vendors pursuing this commodity should monitor school district grocery RFPs and RFQs, particularly those managed through cooperative purchasing vehicles, and expect firm fixed pricing, buy-domestic requirements, HACCP compliance, and product-testing demands at bid submission.
