UNSPSC 50581824: Non GMO green or string beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO green 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 50581824 Non GMO green or string beans is a Commodity code covering fresh vegetable supply to state and local institutions including parks, healthcare facilities, schools, and state purchasing consortia. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying produce through food-service contracts that bundle multiple fresh vegetable varieties under broader procurement umbrellas; this code captures the specific line item when green or string beans are procured as part of larger food-supply bids. The mix of issuing bodies reflects the diversity of food-service operations — county parks departments, health coalitions, state purchasing offices, and school districts all post opportunities that include produce procurement, with school districts and state governments appearing as repeat soliciting bodies in the recent record.
