UNSPSC 50591840: Dried Non GMO moth beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO moth 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 50591840 Dried Non GMO moth beans, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve comprehensive grocery and food service procurement spanning school districts, county systems, state agencies, and municipalities—but none of the solicitations name dried moth beans or similar specialty legume products as line items or scope elements. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sought grocery items for school food service (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured food and consumable products for a state-supported living center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, and multiple other school districts issued RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, grocery staples, and meal service items. The scope across these opportunities—fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen and processed foods, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared meals—reflects what state and local governments actually buy in the food procurement space, and dried specialty legumes do not surface as a procurement category in any of the identified opportunities.

Issuing bodies across the dataset are predominantly school districts and boards of education (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Fairfax County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Meriden, Douglas County, and Pascagoula-Gautier), along with county commissioners (Hillsborough County), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Education), and municipalities (City of Dallas, City of Meriden). Geographic spread spans the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Mississippi), mid-Atlantic (Connecticut, Virginia), and Texas, with school food service as the dominant procurement context. No recent opportunities in the dataset signal demand for dried moth beans specifically, either as standalone line items or as component ingredients in school meal programs or institutional food service. The absence of this commodity from posted solicitations—despite the breadth and specificity of the grocery and produce categories listed across school districts and food service authorities—suggests minimal procurement activity at the state and local level for this product.
