UNSPSC 50591836: Dried Non GMO marrow beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO marrow 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 50591836 Dried Non GMO marrow beans (Commodity) represents a narrow ingredient category within state and local food service procurement, but the recent opportunities do not reflect purchases of marrow beans specifically. Instead, the code shows up alongside broad grocery and fresh produce solicitations where dried beans are mentioned only incidentally or not at all within comprehensive food supply contracts. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily school districts, county boards of education, and municipalities buying food for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The solicitations tracked here span Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia, with school districts dominating the activity through IFB and RFP vehicles. However, the actual commodity — dried non-GMO marrow beans — appears to be a line item within much larger master grocery or fresh produce contracts rather than the focus of standalone solicitations.

Recent representative opportunities show the context in which dried beans are bought but not the primary procurement focus. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 with more than 76 line items and a July 1, 2026 start date; Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #043025 covering comprehensive food products across multiple categories for a July 2026 start; and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) released RFP 026-41 for commercial groceries and USDA Foods with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3,100,000 and a July 1, 2026 effective date. Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued two separate RFPs—SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (estimated $9,000,000 annually, February 18, 2026 deadline) and SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (estimated $5.5 million combined across two geographic areas, March 4, 2026 deadline). None of these solicitations isolate dried marrow beans as a standalone commodity or articulate specific demand for non-GMO varieties. The code carries marginal relevance to current state and local procurement activity; vendors focused exclusively on this ingredient should monitor school nutrition RFPs and master grocery contracts but expect marrow beans to compete as one SKU among thousands in larger supply agreements.
