UNSPSC 50591852: Dried Non GMO yard long beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO yard long 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 50591852 Dried Non GMO yard long beans is a Commodity code that captures preserved vegetable products state and local governments procure for institutional food service—specifically school nutrition programs, senior meal operations, and facility dining. Recent solicitations show that this code sits within a much broader institutional food and supply procurement landscape, where dried beans and specialty produce items appear as line items within large multi-category grocery and food service contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) encompassed over 1,100 line items including vegetables, fruits, and preserved products compliant with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act and Buy American Provision requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural content). Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable bid (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center covered food supplies under NIGP classifications 385 and 390 with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh and specialty produce spanning 200-plus line items (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), while Hillsborough County in Florida requested senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026). Issuing bodies include school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services departments, and county commissioners—all operating under Buy American requirements, HACCP food safety standards, nutritional compliance mandates, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges.

Recent procurement activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with Bridgeport Connecticut, Hancock County Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District Mississippi, Hillsborough County Florida, and the State of Georgia all posting solicitations between April and June 2026. The Georgia state-level food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) represents potential statewide volume, though full scope details are contained in an attached document. Dried yard long beans or similar preserved vegetables would be bid as component line items within these broader institutional food contracts rather than as focused category buys, requiring vendors to meet strict nutritional labeling, domestic-content certification, insurance, and laboratory compliance testing at vendor expense. Questions on most bids close 7–15 days before response deadlines, and award typically goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting specifications.
