UNSPSC 50595213: Dried Non GMO rijnsberger onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO rijnsberger 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 50595213 Dried Non GMO rijnsberger onions is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent activity. The recent opportunities associated with this code span broadly across school nutrition, senior meal services, and institutional food service procurement, yet dried rijnsberger onions appear in none of the posted solicitations. The Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), the Hancock County Schools fresh produce solicitation (due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and multiple other school district fresh produce and food supply RFPs across Georgia, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida enumerate hundreds of line items covering produce varieties, proteins, dairy, grains, and specialty items—but none explicitly cite dried rijnsberger onions or comparable dried vegetable commodity specs. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products bid for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026) and the City of Dallas's meal delivery services procurement (RFCSP, due March 27, 2026) similarly make no mention of this specific dried-onion product line.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual recent procurement activity suggests that state and local buyers either source dried rijnsberger onions through broader food service distributor contracts or do not currently represent an active market segment for this specific commodity. School districts and public agencies in this dataset compete on comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, and institutional meal service contracts where ingredient-level specifications—if any—remain embedded in distributor performance rather than discrete commodities. Vendors pursuing this code should verify current demand directly with state purchasing offices, school nutrition administrators, and institutional food service authorities in target markets rather than rely on posted solicitation signals, as the available evidence does not support active standalone procurement of dried rijnsberger onions at the state or local level.
