UNSPSC 50596901: Dried Non GMO bikini peas

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO bikini peas 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 50596901 Dried Non GMO bikini peas is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—dried legumes—does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code span broad food service procurement: school district grocery items, institutional food and consumables for state-supported living centers, fresh produce for school nutrition programs, senior meal preparation and delivery services, state-level food and kitchen supplies, and packaged meal boxes for child nutrition summer programs. None of these solicitations specifically name dried bikini peas or dried legumes as line items; the code appears to be a catch-all categorization within state and local e-procurement systems rather than a targeted commodity classification. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District) and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), reflecting the institutional food service sector's reliance on cooperative purchasing vehicles and standardized commodity codes.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with school nutrition programs and state health and human services facilities as primary buyers. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, with Buy American requirements and National School Lunch Program compliance); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million); Hancock County Board of Education issuing an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners seeking senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB 26-00289 (due June 25, 2026, estimated value $17,832,659.90 over three years). The code shows no recent procurement activity specifically targeting dried bikini peas as a distinct commodity line.
