UNSPSC 50581817: Non GMO dragon tongue beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO dragon tongue 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 50581817 Non GMO dragon tongue beans is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local food-service operators, including school districts, county recreation departments, and health-care coalitions. State and local governments buy fresh vegetables—and specifically specialty varieties such as dragon tongue beans—for school lunch programs, park concessions, hospital foodservice, and institutional cafeterias. The solicitations show a strong emphasis on product quality, food-safety compliance (HACCP plans, temperature control, freshness guarantees), domestic sourcing preferences, and adherence to nutritional standards such as low-sodium formulations and whole-grain or non-added-sugar requirements. Issuing bodies span school districts, county boards of commissioners, state procurement offices, and non-profit health-care coalitions. School districts appear as repeat buyers, procuring produce as part of broader National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program food bids that aggregate hundreds of line items and include competitive pressure toward domestic suppliers and specialty dietary formulations.
