UNSPSC 50585811: Non GMO topper shallots

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO topper 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 50585811 Non GMO topper shallots is a Commodity code that describes fresh produce—specifically a vegetable ingredient category—used in food service operations across state and local jurisdictions. The code appears in procurement activity spanning county parks and recreation departments, school districts, and regional health care coalitions. Recent opportunities show state and local bodies sourcing fresh produce, including vegetables, as part of broader food service and kitchen-supply contracts. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners sought food vendors for park concessions, Marion Health Care Coalition requested fresh produce delivery proposals, Early County Board of Education issued line-by-line food bids for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program support across three schools, and the State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and other kitchen products procurement. The issuing bodies include county government procurement offices, school district boards of education, regional health coalitions, and state agencies—a mix reflecting food service demand across parks, schools, and institutional dining.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. The Collier County ITN for North Collier Regional Park (posted October 8, 2026, due March 6, 2025) carries a 10-point local-vendor preference for businesses meeting Collier or Lee County residence criteria and requires food vendors to provide diverse menu options across concession venues; the three-year contract with two one-year renewals includes $1 million commercial general liability insurance and monthly reporting. Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) specifies approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits alongside meats, dairy, and grains for school meal programs, with domestic-sourcing and whole-grain preferences, firm pricing for 15 days, and escalation tied to USDA or CPI data with 3% thresholds. Marion Health Care Coalition's produce-proposal solicitation (posted August 7, 2026, due August 21, 2026) sought qualified vendors for fresh fruits and vegetables with 2026-2027 contract term. Georgia's state-level food and kitchen products bid (posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026) provides limited scope detail but signals standing state procurement activity in the category.
