UNSPSC 50615215: Canned or jarred Non GMO sturon onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO sturon 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.

The solicitation landscape emphasizes multi-item food procurement RFPs and IFBs covering hundreds of line items—such as the State of Illinois's weekly food orders, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables bids serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato and tomato paste solicitations, and comprehensive school nutrition food bids from districts including Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, and Muscogee County School District. These buyers typically issue RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs with response dates ranging from mid-March through late June 2026, seeking firm fixed pricing that includes delivery, with contract terms running one to three years and renewal options common. Awards favor lowest responsive and responsible bidders meeting specification compliance and delivery requirements; school districts frequently apply Buy American provisions and emphasize whole grain, low-sodium, and nutritional standards. Geography spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with school districts and state correctional or health facilities as the primary issuing bodies.
