UNSPSC 50605208: Frozen Non GMO kelsae onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO kelsae 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 50605208 Frozen Non GMO kelsae onions (Commodity) does not map to the state and local procurement activity reflected in the most recent opportunities block. The source names no recent solicitations seeking this specific product; the opportunities posted instead request broader food-service procurement across frozen foods, fresh produce, grocery items, and school nutrition supplies. The code's nominal scope—a single frozen vegetable product with non-GMO designation—bears no clear connection to the comprehensive food-service bids actually being solicited by state education agencies, county school systems, and municipal districts in the period covered (January through June 2026).

State and local issuing bodies purchasing under related food-service codes include the Georgia Department of Education, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur (all Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas). These jurisdictions issue RFPs and IFBs for multi-year food-service contracts with annual values in the range of hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, covering produce, frozen goods, dairy, grains, proteins, and supplies. Geographic concentration in recent activity appears heaviest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas and Missouri. The lack of posted opportunities tied specifically to UNSPSC 50605208 suggests either minimal current demand for this commodity in isolation or systematic misclassification in the state and local notice systems.
