UNSPSC 50585116: Non GMO stuttgarter giant onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO stuttgarter giant 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 50585116 Non GMO stuttgarter giant onions is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific produce item, but recent state and local opportunities show the code tagged to broad food-service procurement spanning fresh produce, prepared foods, and kitchen supplies. The actual work being solicited under this code includes food-and-beverage concession services at parks and recreation facilities, fresh produce delivery to healthcare coalitions, institutional food supply for school nutrition programs, and statewide food-service product lines. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county governments (Collier County), school districts (Early County Board of Education), state departments (Georgia), and regional healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). The scope varies widely: some opportunities specify fresh fruits and vegetables with seasonal pricing adjustments and delivery requirements; others request line-by-line bids for hundreds of food items including meats, dairy, grains, and condiments alongside non-food kitchen supplies; still others seek qualified food vendors for ongoing park concession operations with menu diversity and health-code compliance as primary evaluation criteria.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and neighboring states, with visible state-level procurement and multiple local-government food-service solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park Food Services (posted October 8, 2026; proposals due March 6, 2025), which emphasizes vendor qualifications, menu variety, food-safety compliance, and local-vendor preference (10 evaluation points for Collier or Lee County permanent business address and employee residency); Marion Health Care Coalition's produce-vendor RFQ (posted August 7, 2026; due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables with seasonal pricing; the State of Georgia's food-and-kitchen-products solicitation (posted May 15, 2026; due June 22, 2026); and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid covering 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies for school meals programs (posted May 11, 2026; due June 8, 2026), with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options, domestic-sourcing preference, and 15-day price-hold post-award.
