UNSPSC 50591837: Dried Non GMO mat beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO mat 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 50591837 Dried Non GMO mat beans, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of specialty dried legume products for institutional food service, though the recent solicitation record shows no direct opportunities for this item. The source material contains multiple school nutrition, senior meal service, and institutional food procurement bids from state and local jurisdictions across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia dating from January through June 2026, but none explicitly isolates dried non-GMO mat beans as a line item or focus. The solicitations instead address comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, and food service supply contracts where dried beans might appear as one commodity within a much broader food basket spanning proteins, vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy, condiments, and prepared items. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, followed by state health and human services agencies, county school systems, and municipal governments. Where scope is visible—Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract, Meriden Public Schools' commercial grocery and USDA Foods procurement (valued at approximately $3,100,000), Douglas County School System's food supply contract (approximately $9,000,000 annually), and the Bulloch County Board of Education's comprehensive school nutrition grocery bid—dried beans appear embedded in broader "grocery" or "food products" line items rather than as standalone procurement targets.

The geographic spread reflects activity concentrated in the Southeast, particularly Georgia (multiple school district solicitations including Hancock County, Bulloch County, and Douglas County systems through cooperative purchasing vehicles), with secondary activity in Florida (Hillsborough County), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission), Connecticut (Meriden), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Recent representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (due February 18, 2026, seeking approximately $9,000,000 in annual food supply covering 32 schools), the Meriden Public Schools RFP 026-41 for Commercial & USDA Foods (due February 25, 2026, valued at approximately $3,100,000 for 2026-2027), the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for Fresh Produce (due June 26, 2026), and the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items solicitation (due June 30, 2026, covering over 1,100 line items across food categories). Because dried non-GMO mat beans do not surface as a standalone procurement category in any of the recorded opportunities, vendors targeting this commodity should monitor broader school nutrition and institutional food service RFPs where dried legumes are typically specified within general grocery or dry goods sections, and consider cooperative purchasing agreements and master grocery frameworks where multiple school districts aggregate demand.
