UNSPSC 50601813: Frozen Non GMO calypso beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO calypso 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 50601813 Frozen Non GMO Calypso Beans, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable and refrigerated food products procured by state and local governments for nutrition programs, school meal services, and senior services. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments, state procurement offices, and school districts. The scope of work centers on bulk food purchasing for institutional food service — the recent solicitations show that buyers are acquiring dozens to hundreds of line items including proteins, grains, vegetables, dairy products, and prepared foods, often with specific quality standards such as USDA compliance, domestic sourcing preferences, low-sodium or no-added-sugar formulations, and temperature-controlled delivery requirements.
