UNSPSC 50591835: Dried Non GMO madeira/madera beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO madeira/madera 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 50591835 Dried Non GMO madeira/madera beans is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The posted opportunities do not include any solicitations specifically for dried beans or bean products; instead, the procurement tagged under this code reflects broad-based grocery, produce, and food service supply contracts. State and local governments buying under this code are school districts, county boards of education, city school systems, and county health agencies seeking meal programs and food service support. The mix of issuing bodies spans independent school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Hancock County Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier Schools), county and city education authorities (Douglas County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and county commissions supporting senior meal services (Hillsborough County).

Recent opportunities tracked under this code are almost entirely school nutrition procurement and senior meal programs rather than dried-bean sourcing. Representative solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery bid (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) for over 1,100 line items supporting the National School Lunch Program with Buy American requirements and blind testing; Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026) for approximately $9 million annually to serve 25,500 students; and Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026) valued at $17.8 million over three years. Activity is concentrated in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia, with school district nutrition programs and congregate senior meal services dominating the recent solicitation pipeline. The code's taxonomy placement suggests dried-bean procurement, but the actual recent state and local activity captured reflects general grocery and food service distribution contracts where dried beans may appear as a minor commodity within larger meals-and-supplies buys rather than standalone bean sourcing opportunities.
