UNSPSC 50611811: Canned or jarred Non GMO bolita beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO bolita 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 50611811 Canned or jarred non-GMO bolita beans is a Commodity code that covers canned and jarred legumes procured by state and local governments as part of broader food-service supply contracts. State and local buyers source this product primarily through institutional food-service solicitations serving correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and other state agency campuses. The code sees activity from state health and human services departments, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state departments of corrections. Scope spans both standalone canned-vegetable line items and inclusion within larger consumables or food-supply contracts that may comprise dozens or hundreds of line items alongside proteins, dairy, produce, and paper goods. Solicitations typically require delivery on FOB Destination terms, compliance with USDA grading standards, minimum shelf-life guarantees, and firm pricing structures with adjustments permitted only at contract renewal or based on verified third-party indices such as the Consumer Price Index or USDA Agricultural Marketing Service data.
