UNSPSC 50595909: Dried Non GMO red potato onions

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO red potato 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 50595909 Dried Non GMO red potato onions, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The single code match in available records is a mislabeling: the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an RFP on June 30, 2026 for grocery items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, but the scope encompasses over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, beverages, and meat products — a broad multi-category food procurement unrelated to dried potato onions specifically. The code tag appears to be incidental classification rather than primary procurement intent under this commodity.

State and local procurement activity in the June 2026 cycle shows substantial volume in adjacent commodity codes covering fresh produce and comprehensive food service supply, particularly from school districts and state health agencies. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posted fresh produce and food supply IFBs and RFPs in the April-June 2026 window, with contract values ranging from estimated annual spend of $4.4 million (Douglas County fresh produce cooperative) to $9 million (Douglas County food supply and distribution). If dried non-GMO red potato onions are part of vendor product lines in processed or shelf-stable produce categories, opportunity exists through these school district channels and through broader grocery and kitchen supplies codes that capture multi-item food service contracts, but the specific commodity code shows no direct recent solicitation activity.
