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 is a Commodity code that describes a single dried onion product line, though the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under this code centers on comprehensive food service procurement for schools, senior facilities, and public agencies rather than dried onions in isolation. School districts, county education systems, county commissioners, and state agencies are sourcing groceries, produce, and meal services under broad commodity categories that nominally include this item but reflect far wider purchasing scope. The City of Bridgeport's Bridgeport Board of Education sought over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast items, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, and dairy through an IFB posted in late June 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under an IFB with a historical value of $1.5 million; and multiple school districts including Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) have issued invitations for bid on fresh produce, master grocery contracts, and comprehensive food supply spanning July 2026 through June 2027 contract periods. Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut anticipated approximately $3.1 million in total procurement value for commercial groceries, beverages, and produce across 13 school sites.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Douglas County Schools, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County), Florida (Hillsborough County), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission), Connecticut (Meriden), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), though the code shows minimal targeting of dried non-GMO creaming onions as a discrete line item. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 response deadline and 200+ line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year delivered to three locations, the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs (30 school districts across Georgia, approximately $5.5 million estimated annual value, March 4, 2026 deadline), and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB with 76 minimum line items covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026. The code shows substantial recent activity but primarily as a component within larger multisource food service procurements; vendors pursuing work under this classification should position capability across full food service distribution rather than single-ingredient specialty supply.
