UNSPSC 50585121: Non GMO yellow storage onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO yellow storage 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 50585121 Non GMO yellow storage onions is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within fresh produce procurement. State and local governments procure non-GMO yellow storage onions primarily as components of broader fresh-produce and food-service contracts serving school nutrition programs, institutional kitchens, and child nutrition initiatives. Recent solicitations show onions itemized within comprehensive produce specifications rather than as standalone commodity purchases; the code itself does not appear as a stand-alone procurement vehicle in current state and local activity, but rather surfaces as a line item within multi-category fresh-produce RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs that bundle onions with dozens of other vegetables, fruits, and food products.

School districts dominate recent activity under this code's parent fresh-produce family, with issuers including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), and Austin Independent School District (Texas), alongside the State of Georgia's general procurement for food supplies and the Douglas County School System cooperative buying group covering 30 districts across Georgia. Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri and Florida. Recent representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 line-by-line food bid for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs (emphasizing domestic sourcing and low-sodium formulations), Northside Independent School District's May 7, 2026 RFP for fresh produce delivery to 47 campuses with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance, Bulloch County School District's May 4, 2026 IFP for 24 locally-grown produce items within 200 miles including Vidalia onions, and the Douglas County School System's March 4, 2026 RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending across fresh produce and eggs. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options; pricing is firm for the initial period with redetermination clauses keyed to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports or Consumer Price Index data.
