UNSPSC 50591843: Dried Non GMO nuna beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO nuna 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 50591843 Dried Non-GMO Nuna Beans, a Commodity code, sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity — the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations actually seeking dried non-GMO nuna beans by name or specification. Instead, the code's recent tagging reflects broader grocery and food service procurement where dried beans may appear as a line item within comprehensive food supply contracts, but none of the indexed solicitations identify nuna beans as a distinct scope element or bid category.

State and local food service procurement in the data is dominated by school districts, county school systems, and municipal purchasing offices soliciting annual grocery supply, fresh produce, and meal delivery services through IFBs and RFPs. Representative recent solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) seeking 1,100+ grocery line items for the 2026–27 school year (IFB, due June 30, 2026); Douglas County School System (Georgia) procuring food supply and distribution for 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual spend (RFP, due February 18, 2026); Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) issuing an RFP for commercial groceries and USDA foods valued at approximately $3.1 million for 2026–27; and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) seeking fresh produce across 200+ line items (IFB, due June 26, 2026). Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, state procurement) and Connecticut, with Florida (Hillsborough County senior meal services) and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District summer meals) also represented. These procurement actions reflect standard school nutrition and senior meal programs with Buy American provisions, firm fixed pricing, HACCP and food safety compliance, and delivery to multiple sites. The code's assignment to nuna beans appears circumstantial rather than deliberate specification-matching, limiting its utility as a market signal for vendors focused on legume products.
