UNSPSC 50585101: Non GMO albion onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO albion 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 50585101 Non GMO albion onions is a Commodity code covering fresh produce sourcing for state and local food service operations. Recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code reflect a much broader scope than the code name alone suggests — they encompass general produce procurement, fresh fruits and vegetables, and food service line items more broadly. The issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, county health care coalitions, state agencies, and school district boards of education. All recent solicitations emphasize food safety compliance, delivery logistics, and seasonal availability management as core requirements.

Activity appears across Georgia and Florida, with the most recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. The Marion Health Care Coalition sought fresh produce proposals due August 21, 2026; the State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026; the Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support due June 8, 2026, specifying 300+ food items with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain bread, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, requiring a qualified vendor to provide diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues with a three-year term and two one-year renewal options, subject to a 10-point local-vendor preference for businesses meeting Collier or Lee County permanent residency and address criteria. School districts and county procurement offices dominate the recent activity.
