UNSPSC 50585807: Non GMO hative de niort shallots

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO hative de niort shallots. 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 50585807 Non-GMO native de niort shallots is a Commodity code. State and local governments show minimal recent purchasing activity under this specific code. The single opportunity in the recent record — Georgia's May 2026 solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (Solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) — provides no line-item detail and does not confirm whether shallots of any variety were included in the scope. The code's narrow focus on a single cultivar does not align with the broader fresh-produce and food-service procurement patterns documented across recent school-nutrition, institutional food-service, and farm-to-school initiatives, which typically specify generic produce categories (fruits, vegetables, onions) rather than discrete shallot varieties.

School districts, county boards of education, and state agencies across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, and other jurisdictions are actively procuring fresh produce through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Bulloch County and Glynn County School Districts in Georgia, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, McAllen and Austin Independent School Districts in Texas, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and state procurement offices in Georgia and Missouri represent the core of recent activity), but their solicitations list onions, shallots, or alliums generically as commodity line items within larger vegetable-supply contracts without cultivar-level specification. This code does not appear to drive measurable state and local procurement volume and should be monitored for future adoption only if institutional buyers begin to specify shallot varieties in their bid documents.
