UNSPSC 50585106: Non GMO creaming onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO creaming 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 50585106 Non GMO creaming onions is a Commodity code that spans fresh produce procurement, particularly onions and related vegetables sourced by state and local food-service operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices that supply institutional food programs. The code captures the vegetables and produce items that these jurisdictions require for cafeterias, park concessions, healthcare facilities, and institutional dining operations, reflecting the underlying need for compliant, fresh produce meeting food-safety standards and often incorporating preferences for domestic sourcing, specialty varieties, and adherence to USDA nutritional guidelines.

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing-body types. Early County Board of Education in Georgia solicited line-by-line produce bids for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program due June 8, 2026, requesting vegetables among approximately 300 food items with emphases on domestic sourcing, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. The State of Georgia posted a broader request for food and kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Marion Health Care Coalition in an unspecified state sought fresh-produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period. Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited food-services proposals via Invitation to Negotiate due March 6, 2025 for North Collier Regional Park concessions and water-park operations, which would include produce supply within the broader food-vendor scope. School districts and county parks are the most-active recent buyers under this code, with emphasis on USDA compliance, food-safety documentation, and competitive line-item pricing structured as firm bids or negotiated contracts with multi-year terms and renewal options.
