UNSPSC 50601806: Frozen Non GMO black beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO black beans that have been frozen 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 50601806 Frozen Non GMO black beans is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable and frozen legume products that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food operations. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts, county governments, and state departments. Recent opportunities show that frozen black beans are sourced as part of broader food-service procurement for National School Lunch Program compliance, senior meal programs, and general institutional food supply chains where USDA specifications, domestic sourcing preferences, and specific nutritional or processing standards (such as non-GMO certification) apply. Procurement typically occurs through RFQ or line-item bid processes, with vendors required to meet food safety certifications, liability insurance thresholds, E-Verify compliance, and often Buy American or domestic-sourcing preferences.
