UNSPSC 50586839: Non GMO long beans

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO long 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 50586839 Non GMO long beans (Commodity) covers fresh vegetable procurement in state and local food service operations, including school lunch programs, county parks concession services, healthcare facility food supplies, and state institutional food services. The work being solicited ranges from standalone produce-vendor contracts that specify fresh fruit and vegetable delivery on recurring schedules, to line-item inclusion within comprehensive food-service bids that encompass vegetables alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies. State and local governments source this commodity primarily through school districts, county parks and recreation departments, state procurement offices, and health care coalitions. Issuing bodies emphasize food safety compliance, domestic sourcing preferences where specified, delivery timeliness, freshness guarantees, and adherence to USDA standards or local nutritional requirements.
