Definition
The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO rijnsberger 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.
About UNSPSC 50605213
UNSPSC 50605213 Frozen Non GMO rijnsberger onions is a Commodity code capturing specialty produce items sourced by state and local food-service operations, including school districts, county social-services agencies, and state procurement offices. The code reflects demand for specific frozen vegetable products meeting non-GMO sourcing standards and branded or equivalent specifications. State and local buyers use this code when procuring shelf-stable and frozen components of their food-service supply chains, typically as line items within broader food-bid solicitations rather than as standalone purchases. Issuing bodies include county governments managing senior and community services, state purchasing agencies coordinating statewide food procurement, and school districts sourcing ingredients for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The issuing-body mix spans county departments, state agencies, and independent school districts.

The State of Georgia solicited bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products (posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026). Early County Board of Education issued line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products supporting school meal programs across three schools (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026), with contract performance from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives.
