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 represents a narrow agricultural product line, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect purchases of dried yard long beans specifically. Instead, the opportunities show school districts, county governments, and transit authorities soliciting broad grocery, fresh produce, and meal service contracts where dried specialty vegetables are incidental line items within larger food procurement portfolios. The City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program, Hancock County Schools' fresh produce bid spanning 200+ items from apples to specialty fruits, and the Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP for approximately $9 million annually are representative of the actual scope—institutional foodservice sourcing at scale. These procurements emphasize compliance with Buy American provisions (typically 51% domestic agricultural content), USDA nutrition standards, HACCP food safety plans, and delivery to schools or senior centers. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Meriden Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier), county boards of education, and one state agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for a state-supported living center), with occasional city government participation (Dallas meal delivery, Hillsborough County senior meals). Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast, particularly Georgia (Douglas County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, State of Georgia) and the broader mid-Atlantic and South (Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, Texas), with Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia representing a large Northern Virginia institutional buyer.

The code shows substantial recent activity with multiple live opportunities. Representative procurements include Bridgeport's June 30, 2026 electronic bid closing for grocery items supporting school lunch (IFB, 1,100+ line items, Net 45 payment, Buy American required); Hancock County Schools' June 26, 2026 IFB for fresh produce across 200 line items with July 2026–June 2027 term (firm fixed pricing, Monday–Friday 8 a.m.–2 p.m. delivery); and Douglas County School System's February 18, 2026 RFP closing for food supply and distribution ($9 million annual spend, 32 schools, five-year renewal option). The Meriden Public Schools RFP (anticipated award April 24, 2026, $3.1 million 2026–27 contract value) and Hillsborough County's June 25, 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery ($17.8 million over three years, congregate and home-delivery services) illustrate scope variation. Vendors face consistent requirements: Buy American certification, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall capability, commercial general liability insurance ($1–2 million per occurrence), firm-fixed pricing with prepaid freight, and delivery windows of 48 hours or less. While dried yard long beans may appear on itemized grocery lists in these solicitations, the code's activity reflects institutional bulk foodservice contracting rather than specialty dried goods procurement as a primary line of business.
