UNSPSC 50591820: Dried Non GMO flageolet beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO flageolet 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 50591820 Dried Non GMO flageolet beans is a Commodity code that covers dried legumes procured by school districts and state health agencies as ingredients within larger food-service and nutrition contracts. State and local governments buy this commodity as part of broader grocery, produce, and meal-preparation solicitations that supply school lunch programs, senior dining centers, and institutional food-service operations. The code appears in purchasing contexts where vendors supply multiple food categories simultaneously — dried beans are one line item among hundreds in comprehensive food contracts rather than standalone specialty procurement.

Recent state and local activity under this code comes from school districts in Connecticut, Georgia, and Mississippi, along with county-level senior services in Florida and state health agencies in Texas.
