UNSPSC 50585108: Non GMO kelsae onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO kelsae 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 50585108 Non GMO kelsae onions is a Commodity code encompassing fresh produce items, particularly vegetables and specialty onion varieties, that state and local governments procure for food service operations. Recent solicitations show demand across institutional food service — parks concessions, healthcare facilities, state food supply chains, and school districts — where vendors supply fresh produce according to operational specifications, seasonal availability, and food safety compliance. The code reflects purchasing by diverse issuing bodies including county parks and recreation divisions, healthcare coalitions, state procurement offices, and school boards. Work involves direct provision and delivery of produce meeting quality standards, delivery timelines, volume requirements, and freshness guarantees, with pricing subject to seasonal market fluctuations and supported by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index escalation data.
