UNSPSC 50611802: Canned or jarred Non GMO appaloosa beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO appaloosa beans that have been canned or jarred 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 50611802 Canned or jarred non-GMO appaloosa beans is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable legume products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service, canteen operations, and nutrition programs. The code sees activity across state health and human services agencies operating residential facilities, county nutrition programs, school districts, and state correctional and higher-education entities. State and local buyers source canned beans as part of broader consumable food procurements supporting cafeterias, inmate dining, and senior services; the recent opportunities block shows beans listed alongside canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, and kitchen supplies within larger food-service contracts. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools), cities, and school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools). Delivery typically occurs FOB Destination with freight prepaid, within 7 to 72 hours of order, and products must meet USDA standards and state food-safety compliance requirements including labeling, shelf-life minimums (typically 12 months), and HACCP or equivalent safety protocols.
