UNSPSC 50585109: Non GMO marshalls giant fen globe onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO marshalls giant fen globe 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 50585109 Non GMO marshalls giant fen globe onions is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity that matches its scope.

The code's nominal product — a specific onion variety — does not appear in the state and local solicitations currently in the market. The most recent opportunities tagged under this code are school nutrition procurement RFPs and IFBs issued by Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida school districts and the State of Georgia between February and June 2026. These solicitations cover broad fresh produce categories (apples, bananas, bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, celery, lettuce, tomatoes, citrus fruits, potatoes, and eggs) for child nutrition programs, farm-to-school initiatives, and institutional food service. None of the RFPs, IFBs, or ITBs name onions as a line item, much less a specific onion variety, and the available specification sheets list generic produce families without distinction to cultivar or variety. The solicitations come from school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Texas; SCCPSS in Savannah, Georgia; Douglas County Schools in Georgia; McAllen ISD in Texas; Austin ISD in Texas; Hillsborough County Schools in Florida; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri) and state nutrition programs, with estimated annual contract values ranging from $600,000 to $4.4 million for the larger cooperative buys. The tag appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error, as the commodity code does not align with the actual procurement scope under review.
