UNSPSC 50596862: Dried Non GMO tree onion

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO tree onion that has 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 50596862 Dried Non GMO tree onion, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—specialty dried onion products meeting non-GMO standards—does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this tag. Recent opportunities posted under this code are school nutrition and institutional food service contracts spanning comprehensive grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, meal preparation and delivery, and bulk food sourcing for school districts, county health agencies, and municipal governments, none of which center on dried tree onion as a line item.

The source records no solicitations specifically targeting dried non-GMO tree onion products. School districts including Bridgeport Public Schools (Connecticut), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) have issued RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive grocery and fresh produce supply in 2026, with response deadlines ranging from April through June; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners have also posted food and meal service contracts. These opportunities treat dried specialty ingredients, if at all, as minor line items within broader food service categories—not as standalone procurement drivers. The geographic spread of activity includes Connecticut, Georgia, Virginia, Florida, and Texas. No evidence supports meaningful demand for dried tree onion as a distinct procurement category at the state or local level.
