UNSPSC 50591828: Dried Non GMO hyacinth beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO hyacinth 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 50591828 Dried Non GMO Hyacinth Beans, a Commodity code, describes a single dried legume product line that state and local governments rarely procure as a standalone item — recent state and local opportunities show no direct solicitation for dried hyacinth beans. The code appears in procurement taxonomy but does not align with the actual buying patterns recorded in recent contract opportunities.

The most recent state and local solicitations in the opportunity dataset focus on comprehensive grocery and food service procurement, including fresh produce, prepared meals, and full-line food distribution for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service. Opportunities from Bridgeport (Connecticut), Fairfax County (Virginia), Hancock County (Georgia), Bulloch County (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), Meriden (Connecticut), Douglas County (Georgia), Hillsborough County (Florida), Dallas (Texas), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and State of Georgia all bid food products in bulk, but none identify dried hyacinth beans as a line item. The procurement activity clusters in K-12 school nutrition, senior meal programs, and state institutional food service — categories where vendors supply hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, grains, and processed foods under broad grocery or fresh-produce contracts. The geographic concentration of recent activity spans Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Connecticut, Florida, Virginia, and Texas, reflecting nationwide school-lunch and institutional-feeding demand. Absent specific opportunities tagged to dried hyacinth beans, the code shows little current relevance to state and local food service procurement strategy, and business development professionals should verify with issuing bodies whether dried hyacinth beans are embedded in broader commodity codes or requested as specialty ingredients within master grocery contracts.
