UNSPSC 50615216: Canned or jarred Non GMO stuttgarter giant onions

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO stuttgarter giant 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 50615216 Canned or jarred Non GMO stuttgarter giant onions is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent procurement activity directly aligned with its specific product name. State and local governments purchasing under this code are primarily institutional food-service buyers — state health and human services agencies operating supported living centers, state departments of corrections, school districts, and county boards managing food programs for senior services and institutional populations. The work being solicited is the supply of shelf-stable food products for canteen, campus, and dining operations, typically as part of broader food and consumables procurements that span dozens of line items across multiple product categories. Institutional buyers solicit these foods through IFB and IWQ notices with response cycles measured in days to weeks, requiring firm fixed pricing on a per-unit or per-case basis, F.O.B. Destination delivery with prepaid freight, and compliance with USDA grade standards, FDA labeling, shelf-life minimums, and often specialized constraints such as low-sodium or whole-grain specifications. Vendors must submit references, company qualifications, and certification documents (debarment, E-Verify, insurance); larger procurements require HACCP plans and recall accessibility protocols.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state supported living centers statewide — notably HHS0016792V2 (posted May 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years, 210 line items) and HHS0018082 (posted October 2026, due October 23, 2026, 22 line items for Lufkin State Supported Living Center). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026, with Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidder preferences. Georgia school districts and counties have been active — Ben Hill County Schools (IFB due June 15, 2026, multiple food categories across four schools) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bid due June 5, 2026, nearly 400 line items across five schools). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited food items via IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026, 35 line items of shelf-stable products for senior services). The code itself shows no recent opportunities that specifically name non-GMO stuttgarter giant onions; the tagged opportunities are generic food-supply procurements that may or may not include that specific product line.
