UNSPSC 50591841: Dried Non GMO mung beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO mung 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 50591841 Dried Non GMO mung beans is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy dried mung beans and other commodity food products primarily through school district nutrition programs, county health and human services agencies, and municipal food service operations. The recent opportunities under this code reflect procurement activity concentrated in school lunch and nutrition services, including fresh and processed produce, grocery staples, and specialized food items for federal child nutrition programs and senior meal services. Vendors must navigate Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content (typically 51 percent for processed items), compliance with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act and related nutrition standards, and blind testing or laboratory verification of product specifications. Delivery logistics dominate bid requirements: vendors typically supply multiple school sites or service facilities on fixed schedules, maintain backup inventory for emergency replenishment within 24 hours, use standardized pallet formats, and accept ordering through school nutrition management systems such as LINQ School Solutions. Insurance requirements are substantial—general liability and products liability coverage in the $1 million to $2 million range, with the buying entity named as additional insured—and vendors must provide documentation including USDA compliance statements, health inspection records, nutritional analyses with product labels, and professional references demonstrating food service capability.
