UNSPSC 50592206: Dried Non GMO redmate bunching onions

The variety of Non GMO bunching onions known as Non GMO redmate bunching onions that have been dried for preservation. 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 50592206 Dried Non GMO redmate bunching onions is a Commodity code that names a single produce item, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show no actual procurement of dried redmate bunching onions. Instead, the opportunities span broad school nutrition grocery, fresh produce, and meal service contracts where onions—if procured at all—appear as one line item among hundreds within larger food-service bundles. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery bid (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) encompasses over 1,100 line items including vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce solicitation (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) lists onions as one of multiple root vegetables across 200+ line items; and the Douglas County School System's cooperative procurement for fresh produce and eggs (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) includes onions within a 72-line-item produce roster. School districts, county boards of education, and state agencies issue the majority of these opportunities, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and the Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia) conducting annual grocery and produce contracts. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) is also soliciting senior meal preparation and delivery services ($17,832,659.90 estimated value over three years, ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with secondary solicitation flow in Connecticut, Virginia, and Mississippi. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) represents state-level procurement at $1.5 million historical annual spend for an institutional residential facility. Notably, none of these opportunities isolates dried redmate bunching onions as a standalone commodity; all situate onions within comprehensive fresh or dry produce categories serving child nutrition programs under National School Lunch Program compliance. Vendors pursuing this code should recognize that the UNSPSC classification does not reflect actual procurement patterns—state and local buyers source onions as part of master grocery or produce contracts subject to Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP food safety requirements, nutritional standards compliance, and firm fixed pricing across 12-month terms, typically with Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms and delivery to multiple school sites or central distribution warehouses.
