UNSPSC 50602209: Frozen Non GMO white lisbon bunching onions

The variety of Non GMO bunching onions known as Non GMO white lisbon 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 50602209 Frozen Non GMO white lisbon bunching onions is a Commodity code that in practice spans shelf-stable and fresh food procurement by state and local agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying frozen and fresh produce, canned proteins, dairy, bread, and condiments through this code — often as part of broader food-service contracts rather than as frozen onions alone. The issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County), state departments (Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), with school lunch and breakfast programs and senior-services meal operations driving much of the activity. Food procurement under this code typically requires delivery within tight windows, compliance with USDA nutrition and safety standards including HACCP plans and Buy American provisions, temperature-controlled handling, and detailed documentation of sourcing and recalls.

The code shows recent activity across Georgia, with Gwinnett County posting an IWQ (informal written quote) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of food items — peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables — due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., with delivery required by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen-products solicitation on May 15, 2026 due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 due June 8, 2026 for 300+ food items and non-food supplies under the National School Lunch Program, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain bread, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with contract running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend. Award decisions typically favor the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and vendors must provide references, carry $500,000 general liability insurance, and comply with E-Verify and debarment checks.
