UNSPSC 50605209: Frozen Non GMO marshalls giant fen globe onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO marshalls giant fen globe 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 50605209 Frozen Non GMO marshalls giant fen globe onions is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable and refrigerated food products for institutional food service, including frozen vegetables, canned proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and related kitchen supplies. Recent solicitations show significant divergence from the code's nominal scope — the three representative opportunities span broad food-service categories (shelf-stable pantry staples, school nutrition program ingredients, and general institutional food supplies) rather than frozen onions specifically. The issuing bodies include county governments, state departments, and school districts, with Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education all active in the recent record. The code appears to serve as a catch-all classifier for institutional food procurement across multiple agency types rather than a narrowly defined commodity line.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where Gwinnett County posted an IWQ (informal written quote) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line bid for 300+ food items supporting National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs due June 8, 2026, and the State of Georgia released a broader food and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. The Gwinnett County solicitation emphasizes delivery to a single senior services center with 72-hour turnaround capability, while the Early County Schools bid stresses Buy American compliance, HACCP documentation, temperature-controlled milk logistics, and allowance for piggybacking by other districts. Award methodology across all three favors lowest responsive and responsible bidder pricing, with Early County specifying evaluation on a line-by-line basis and reserve-the-right-to-split-awards language typical of school food service procurement.
