UNSPSC 50585113: Non GMO rijnsberger onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO rijnsberger 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 50585113 Non GMO rijnsberger onions is a Commodity code that captures produce procurement by state and local entities, though recent solicitations show broader fresh-produce sourcing rather than rijnsberger onions specifically. State and local buyers under this code include county governments, school districts, health-care coalitions, and state agencies. The work involves supplying fresh fruits and vegetables—including onions, meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, grains, and condiments—to food-service operations across parks, schools, health facilities, and correctional or institutional settings. Vendors must meet quality standards, food-safety compliance (HACCP plans, recall procedures), delivery schedules, temperature controls where applicable, and often domestic-sourcing or Buy American requirements. School districts emphasize whole-grain, low-sodium, and additive-free formulations; pricing typically remains firm for 15 days post-award with escalation requests considered on a six-month basis supported by USDA or Consumer Price Index data.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Florida. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies with a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term and provisions for renewal. The State of Georgia issued an IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park and concession facilities due March 6, 2025, with evaluation weighting food safety compliance (20 points) and menu variety (35 points). Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce RFQ due August 21, 2026. Opportunities typically carry Buy American or local-vendor preferences (Collier County awarded 10 evaluation points to vendors with permanent business addresses and employee residency in Collier or Lee County), require $500,000 to $1,000,000 general liability insurance, and mandate E-Verify enrollment and debarment verification.
