UNSPSC 50591807: Dried Non GMO black gram beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO black gram beans that have been dried for preservation. 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 50591807 Dried Non GMO black gram beans is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure dried beans and legumes primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations supporting the National School Lunch Program, senior meal services, and state-run facilities. The code appears in solicitations spanning fresh produce contracts, bulk grocery items for school districts, and food service for state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies include city and county boards of education, county boards of commissioners managing senior services, state health and human services agencies, and city purchasing departments procuring on behalf of school nutrition administrators. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions (typically 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, HACCP food safety protocols, and detailed labeling and nutritional documentation requirements. Products are delivered on pallets to central warehouses and individual school or facility sites on firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges; payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days. Vendors are evaluated on specification compliance, past performance, lowest responsive and responsible bid, and ability to maintain emergency stock for 24-hour backup delivery.
