UNSPSC 50606862: Frozen Non GMO tree onion

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO tree onion that has 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 50606862 Frozen Non GMO tree onion is a Commodity code that covers specialty frozen vegetable products sourced from non-genetically modified organisms. State and local governments procure frozen tree onions primarily through school nutrition programs seeking diverse produce options that meet district dietary standards, nutritional mandates, and ingredient sourcing preferences. Recent solicitations show school districts emphasizing whole-grain compliance, low-sodium and reduced-sugar formulations, domestic sourcing, and products without artificial additives—specifications that apply broadly across frozen vegetable categories including tree onions. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school systems, with occasional state agencies participating in cooperative purchasing arrangements. The Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Dallas Independent School District all anchor recent activity, along with state-level procurement through Georgia's general food and produce bidding processes.
