UNSPSC 50595217: Dried Non GMO sweet onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO sweet 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 50595217 Dried Non GMO sweet onions, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement records under its nominal scope. The source block contains fourteen recent opportunities spanning school nutrition, senior meals, general grocery supply, and produce procurement across state departments, school districts, counties, and municipalities, yet none explicitly reference dried sweet onions as a line item or primary commodity. The opportunities recovered under this code tag instead reflect broad food-service procurement — comprehensive grocery bids, fresh produce contracts, meal preparation and delivery, and USDA commodity supply — where dried onions, if present at all, would represent one among hundreds of food-product line items in master grocery or nutrition-program agreements.

School districts account for the majority of recent activity: Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract under IFB 2000004323 (bids due April 27, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce serving 2026-27 (due June 26, 2026); Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) pursued commercial groceries and USDA Foods under RFP 026-41 (due February 25, 2026); and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued parallel RFPs for food supply and distribution (due February 18, 2026) and fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026). State-level buyers also appear: Georgia Department of Human Services requested food and consumable products for a state-supported living center under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026); the State of Georgia issued IFB #4 2027-2026 for fresh produce (due May 27, 2026); and a separate Georgia procurement addressed food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). Municipal and county activity includes the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases seeking grocery items for its Board of Education (due June 30, 2026), Hillsborough County Board of Commissioners (Florida) pursuing senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB-26-00289 (due June 25, 2026 with estimated value $17.8 million over three years), the City of Dallas issuing a Request for Competitive Sealed Proposals for boxed and bulk meal delivery (due March 27, 2026), and Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for school nutrition groceries (due May 4, 2026). The code shows activity across Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Texas, Mississippi, and other states, but the alignment between the UNSPSC tag "Dried Non GMO sweet onions" and the actual procurements recovered is too weak to support reliable business development signals under this specific commodity code.
