UNSPSC 50581813: Non GMO calypso beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO calypso beans. 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 50581813 Non GMO calypso beans is a Commodity code capturing specialty dried-bean procurement by state and local food-service operations. While the code nominal description is narrow, the actual solicitations tagged under it reflect broader food-supply sourcing by school districts, county parks and recreation divisions, health-care coalitions, and state purchasing offices. The recent opportunities show that calypso beans and similar specialty produce items are sourced as components of larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone line items, with soliciting bodies emphasizing food safety compliance, delivery reliability, domestic sourcing preferences where applicable, and competitive pricing within multi-category food procurement frameworks.
