UNSPSC 50581819: Non GMO fava beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO fava 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 50581819 Non GMO fava beans (Commodity) covers fresh produce procurement by state and local agencies, including school districts, health care coalitions, county parks departments, and state purchasing offices.

The issuing bodies span school districts (Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Parks and Recreation), state agencies (Georgia), and regional health care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Work solicited includes line-by-line produce bidding for USDA National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program compliance, fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply and delivery under volume and quality specifications, and concession food service at county parks with emphasis on competitive pricing and food-safety compliance.
