UNSPSC 50595301: Dried Non GMO bambarra groundnut peanuts

The variety of Non GMO peanuts known as Non GMO bambarra groundnut peanuts 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 50595301 Dried Non GMO bambarra groundnut peanuts is a Commodity code nominally describing a single processed agricultural product, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect a much broader scope. State and local procurement offices are using this code to solicit grocery items, fresh produce, food and consumable products, and meal preparation and delivery services for school nutrition programs, senior meal programs, and institutional food service operations. The issuing bodies span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). The work being bought includes National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American produce sourcing with domestic agricultural content minimums, HACCP food safety planning, nutritional standards adherence, bulk delivery logistics, and vendor management through school nutrition ordering systems. Contracts typically run one to three years with firm fixed pricing and CPI adjustments permitted only under specified conditions.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Texas, with recent opportunities from Connecticut (Bridgeport), Georgia, Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier), Texas (HHSC El Paso), and Florida (Hillsborough County). Representative recent solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 RFP for over 1,100 line items of grocery items across breakfast, frozen products, condiments, and meats with a June 30, 2026 due date; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items with a June 26, 2026 due date; Texas HHSC's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and a July 11, 2026 due date; and Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 and a June 25, 2026 due date. The code shows misalignment between its nominal commodity scope and actual procurement activity, which centers on institutional food service contracting rather than dried groundnut supply.
