UNSPSC 50621805: Non GMO black appaloosa bean purees

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO black appaloosa beans. 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 50621805 Non GMO black appaloosa bean purees is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific legume product, but the recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code show little evidence of demand for that exact item. The posted opportunities instead reflect procurement of broad consumable food products for institutional food service — including canned proteins, shelf-stable vegetables, condiments, sauces, and other dry goods — for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The soliciting bodies span state health and human services departments, state corrections agencies, school districts, and county governments, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections appearing as repeat buyers. The work consists of competitive bid solicitations (IFB, IWQ, RFP) for food supply contracts with firm fixed pricing, delivery-within-days performance requirements, USDA grade compliance, and multi-year renewal options; typical contract values range from under $100,000 annually for smaller jurisdictions to $1.5 million and higher for large institutional networks.
