UNSPSC 50595206: Dried Non GMO creaming onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO creaming 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 50595206 Dried Non-GMO Creaming Onions, a Commodity code, represents a narrow ingredient category within broader school nutrition and institutional food-service procurement. State and local governments buy dried onions primarily as components in centralized food production for school lunch programs, senior meal services, and state-supported facility dining operations. The Commodity sits within larger food-service procurement ecosystems where school districts, county health and human services agencies, and municipal boards of education source dozens or hundreds of food line items through single consolidated RFPs or IFBs; dried onions typically appear as one SKU among vegetables, seasonings, and processed produce rather than as a standalone solicitation.

Recent activity spans school districts in Connecticut, Georgia, and Mississippi; state health agencies in Texas; and county commissioners in Florida. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an RFP (BNB052266) on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services on June 30, 2026, covering over 1,100 grocery line items including seasonings and vegetables for the National School Lunch Program, with 51 percent Buy American domestic agricultural content required. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB (HHS0017449) on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million and a July 13, 2026 response date. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce and related items under IFB SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026, while Hillsborough County, Florida, posted an ITB (ITB2600289) on June 3, 2026, for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90. Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi sought packaged summer meal boxes with a sealed-bid deadline of April 29, 2026. The code shows no standout repeat buyers across these opportunities; activity clusters around school nutrition and state-facility food service in the Southeast and Texas.
