UNSPSC 50615207: Canned or jarred Non GMO express yellow o-x onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO express yellow o-x onions that have been canned or jarred 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 50615207 Canned or jarred Non GMO express yellow o-x onions is a Commodity code that sees modest application in state and local institutional food procurement, though the code's nominal scope—canned or jarred non-GMO yellow onions specifically—diverges significantly from the broader shelf-stable food and consumable categories that dominate the recent solicitation record. State and local governments purchasing under or near this code are primarily acquiring comprehensive food service bundles for institutional cafeterias, food banks, kitchen operations, and residential facilities rather than single canned-onion line items in isolation. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all posted food procurement bids within the last six months that encompass canned vegetables and other shelf-stable items as components of much larger food-service contracts. Issuing bodies span state health and corrections departments, county purchasing offices, and school district nutrition programs across multiple states. The work solicited includes preparation of detailed product specifications, compliance with USDA grade standards, FDA labeling requirements, delivery logistics to multiple facility locations, and submission of references and quality certifications.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide (posted May 19, 2026, response deadline March 19, 2026), comprising approximately 210 line items with a maximum potential three-year value of $4.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, bids due June 19, 2026), with state and resident bidders receiving 5 percent evaluation preference; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of food items including canned vegetables, proteins, and staple goods for the Department of Community Services (posted October 13, 2026, quotes due October 19, 2026). Most solicitations require FOB Destination pricing with delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order receipt, submittal of three verifiable references, HACCP or equivalent food-safety certifications, E-Verify compliance, and debarment certifications. Buy American Act provisions apply in school district procurements. The code shows active state and local procurement activity, though canned onions as a standalone line item remain embedded within much larger institutional food contracts rather than solicited as a distinct commodity.
