UNSPSC 50591810: Dried Non GMO bobby beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO bobby 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 50591810 Dried Non GMO bobby beans is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure dried bean products, typically as a line item within larger school nutrition, institutional food service, and public-agency meal programs. The recent opportunities show this code appearing as part of multi-hundred-line-item grocery and food-supply solicitations rather than as a standalone item, reflecting how school districts and public agencies source dried beans alongside fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, and prepared items to meet nutrition standards and Buy American requirements. Issuing bodies span school districts of varying sizes, state health and human services agencies managing institutional facilities and senior nutrition programs, and county boards of education. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) appear among recent solicitors, with school nutrition programs and congregate meal services dominating the activity.
