UNSPSC 50602207: Frozen Non GMO santa claus bunching onions

The variety of Non GMO bunching onions known as Non GMO santa claus 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 50602207 Frozen Non GMO Santa Claus Bunching Onions is a Commodity code that in practice captures frozen specialty vegetable products, though the recent state and local opportunities under this code show little alignment with the nominal commodity name. The three opportunities posted between May and October 2026 center on broad food procurement for institutional feeding programs — shelf-stable packaged goods, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, produce, and non-food kitchen supplies — rather than specialty frozen onion varieties. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited approximately 1,062 cases of 35 line items of packaged food products (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables) for senior services; the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid with terms in an attached PDF; and Early County Board of Education bid approximately 300+ food items spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The issuing bodies span state departments, county governments, and school districts, reflecting the institutional-food-service base of recent activity under this code.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an IWQ (informal written quote) with a due date of October 19, 2026 and delivery required by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Georgia issued a formal bid due June 22, 2026; and Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line bid due June 8, 2026 for a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. Award in the Early County solicitation was to be made approximately 60 days after bid opening to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with vendors required to maintain HACCP plans, carry $500,000 general liability insurance, comply with Buy American provisions, and allow piggybacking by other school districts. The code shows little recent activity outside Georgia and no current indication of specialized frozen onion procurement.
