UNSPSC 50602210: Frozen Non GMO winter white bunching onions

The variety of Non GMO bunching onions known as Non GMO winter white 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 50602210 Frozen Non GMO winter white bunching onions, a Commodity code, covers fresh and frozen vegetables that state and local governments procure for food service, senior nutrition programs, and institutional feeding operations. Recent solicitations show that purchasing entities are buying vegetables as part of broader food-supply contracts rather than as standalone line items; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items and Early County Board of Education's June 2026 food bid for school lunch and breakfast programs both included vegetables (fresh, frozen, and canned) as components of multi-category procurement. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments, state agencies, and school districts; county-level purchasing and school food-service operations appear to be the primary buyers, with food service directors responsible for meeting USDA nutrition standards and institutional meal requirements.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, where Gwinnett County, Early County Schools, and the State of Georgia all posted opportunities between May and October 2026. The Gwinnett County quote (solicitation PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026) sought canned vegetables and shelf-stable proteins for the Department of Community Services' senior services program, with F.O.B. Destination delivery to Lawrenceville and a December 7, 2026 receipt deadline. Early County Board of Education's line-by-line bid (solicitation PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) explicitly called for vegetables (fresh, frozen, canned, and condiments) to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs across three schools, with awards going to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and contract terms running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia's May 2026 bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) indicated broader scope in an attached document but specifics on vegetable procurement were not detailed in the posting.
