UNSPSC 50582204: Non GMO kyoto market bunching onions

The variety of Non GMO bunching onions known as Non GMO kyoto market bunching onions. 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 50582204 Non GMO kyoto market bunching onions is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty onion varieties but shows little activity aligned with the code's name in recent state and local procurement. The code's abstract product description does not match the scope of work actually being solicited. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span broad food-service and produce procurement, including fresh produce supply contracts, regional park concessions, school lunch programs, and institutional food services — work that encompasses bunching onions as one line item among hundreds of produce and food products rather than as a focused procurement category. Issuing bodies include county recreation departments, school districts, health care coalitions, and state purchasing offices. The fragmented nature of these solicitations suggests the code is applied loosely to broader food and agricultural procurement rather than used to target specialty onion sourcing specifically.

Activity appears across Georgia, Florida, and the Southeast region. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (posted October 8, 2026, due March 6, 2025); Marion Health Care Coalition's produce-vendor proposal solicitation (posted August 7, 2026, due August 21, 2026); Early County Board of Education's line-by-line bid for food and non-food items supporting the National School Lunch Program (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026); and the State of Georgia's bid for food and kitchen products (posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026). The Collier County opportunity applies a 10-point local-vendor preference and requires food-safety compliance and commercial liability coverage. The Early County Schools bid emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain products, and low-sodium formulations with Buy American provisions and HACCP plan compliance. If your firm supplies specialty produce, the code shows limited targeting; broader institutional and school food procurement under adjacent produce and food-service codes may offer better alignment.
