UNSPSC 50595202: Dried Non GMO alisa craig onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO alisa craig 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 50595202 Dried Non GMO alisa craig onions, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its narrow product scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried onions specifically; instead, the tagged opportunities span broad grocery procurement (Bridgeport Board of Education, City of Dallas, Fairfax County Public Schools), fresh produce contracts (Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), senior meal services (Hillsborough County), and institutional food supply (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Meriden Public Schools). While onions appear as line items in some fresh-produce solicitations—notably Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce covering onions among 200-plus produce items—no recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB is dedicated to dried onion products or aligns with the Commodity code's specification of dried non-GMO varieties.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities centers on school districts and institutional buyers in Georgia (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education), Florida (Hillsborough County), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, Dallas), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), reflecting national school nutrition program demand. However, these solicitations treat produce and groceries as aggregated commodity bundles rather than targeting single dried-vegetable SKUs. The code shows little current procurement traction as a standalone product line; vendors pursuing this code should monitor school district and institutional food-service RFPs broadly, but should recognize that dried specialty onions are typically embedded in larger master grocery or produce contracts where price and volume pressures favor commodity-scale suppliers over specialty dried-vegetable vendors.
