UNSPSC 50591823: Dried Non GMO giant white coco beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO giant white coco 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 50591823 Dried Non GMO giant white coco beans is a Commodity code that describes a specific agricultural ingredient purchased by state and local food service programs, school districts, and institutional facilities as part of broader meal procurement and nutrition service contracts. State and local buyers acquire dried coco beans through competitive solicitations that bundle them with hundreds of other food items — cereals, produce, proteins, condiments — as part of annual school nutrition, senior meal service, and institutional food-service contracts. The work is episodic and low-volume at the individual commodity level; dried coco beans appear as a line item within much larger grocery or food-supply RFPs and IFBs rather than as standalone solicitations. Buyers enforce Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), HACCP food safety plans, nutritional compliance with federal meal standards, and supplier insurance and documentation standards. Issuing bodies include school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county governments procuring food service on behalf of educational and social-service populations.
