UNSPSC 50605216: Frozen Non GMO stuttgarter giant onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO stuttgarter giant 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 50605216 Frozen Non GMO Stuttgarter Giant Onions is a Commodity code that captures frozen onion products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service operations. State and local procurement activity under this code reflects demand from school districts, county human services departments, and state food supply contracts. The recent opportunities show buyers acquiring frozen vegetables and shelf-stable food items as part of broader food-service provisioning for school lunch programs, senior services, and institutional kitchens. School districts dominate the recent solicitation activity, soliciting comprehensive food bid packages that include frozen produce alongside fresh items, proteins, dairy, and non-food supplies. Counties and state agencies also solicit frozen vegetables as part of general food and supplies procurement, though recent postings do not isolate frozen onions as a line item but bundle them within larger food-service categories.

Georgia shows the strongest recent activity, with the Early County Board of Education posting an IFB on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and frozen products to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, the State of Georgia posting an IFB on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posting an IWQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services. The code shows activity primarily in school districts and county government, with delivery requirements typically within 72 hours of order and F.O.B. destination pricing. Vendors competing under this code must comply with Buy American provisions where required, maintain HACCP plans, carry general liability insurance, and satisfy E-Verify and debarment verification for contracts exceeding specified thresholds.
