UNSPSC 50601844: Frozen Non GMO pinto beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO pinto 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 50601844 Frozen Non GMO pinto beans is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable legumes procured by state and local government food service operations, including school districts, county departments, and state purchasing entities. State and local governments use this code to source frozen pinto beans for institutional meal programs, senior services, and emergency food distribution — typically as line items within broader food procurement contracts that bundle proteins, vegetables, grains, and other staples. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners managing senior services and nutritional assistance programs, independent school districts operating child nutrition programs under USDA guidelines, and state purchasing offices coordinating statewide food supply contracts.
