UNSPSC 50595207: Dried Non GMO express yellow o-x onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO express yellow o-x 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 50595207 Dried Non GMO express yellow o-x onions, a Commodity code, encompasses dehydrated onion products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations reveal state and local buyers acquiring dried onions as components of bulk grocery and food supply contracts supporting K-12 meal service, senior nutrition programs, and state institutional facilities rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Bulloch County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Schools in Georgia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, Douglas County Schools in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida). School districts dominate the buyer pool, typically sourcing dried onions as seasoning or ingredient items within comprehensive grocery and fresh produce contracts rather than as discrete commodity purchases.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Bridgeport Board of Education's procurement of over 1,100 line-item grocery products with electronic bids due June 30, 2026 (IFB BNB052266), requiring domestic agricultural content compliance under Buy American provisions and HHSC compliance certifications; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's solicitation for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 under IFB HHS0017449 and historical annual value of $1.5 million; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services across 32 schools serving 25,500 students with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 and proposals due February 18, 2026. The code shows no standalone or specialty-focus procurement activity; dried onions appear only as embedded ingredient or seasoning line items within large, multi-category food service contracts where commodity-level UNSPSC coding does not drive sourcing strategy.
