UNSPSC 50602204: Frozen Non GMO kyoto market bunching onions

The variety of Non GMO bunching onions known as Non GMO kyoto market bunching onions that have been frozen 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 50602204 Frozen Non GMO Kyoto market bunching onions, a Commodity code, nominally covers specialty frozen onion products, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reflect much broader food procurement — shelf-stable pantry staples, school meal program ingredients, and mixed kitchen products rather than frozen specialty produce. State and local buyers under this code include school districts (Early County Board of Education), county government purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state procurement divisions (State of Georgia). The work being solicited encompasses competitive line-item bidding for food service contracts, informal written quotes for bulk food purchases, and multi-year meal-program supply agreements with requirements for quality certification, delivery schedules, compliance documentation, and price-adjustment mechanisms tied to commodity indices.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, where Gwinnett County issued an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026 for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid in May 2026; and the Early County Board of Education released line-by-line food bids in May 2026 due June 8, 2026 covering 300+ food items plus non-food supplies for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. School districts and county purchasing offices appear to drive the majority of recent solicitation volume under this code, with awards typically made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders and emphasis on domestic sourcing, HACCP compliance, price adjustments based on USDA indices, and multi-week delivery windows.
