UNSPSC 50622200: Non GMO bunching onion purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO bunching onions. 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 50622200 Non GMO bunching onion purees is a Class code that describes prepared vegetable products and purees for food service and institutional consumption. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show that state and local governments are procuring shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional dining — primarily school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and county senior services — rather than specifically targeting non-GMO onion purees as a standalone commodity. The issuing bodies are diverse: Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple state-supported living centers), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (senior services), Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools (school nutrition programs), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The scope of work encompasses hundreds of food line items across multiple categories including fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, canned goods, condiments, and food service supplies, with deliveries required within days of order receipt on FOB Destination terms.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon over the past four months. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple consumables bids for state-supported living centers (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026, and HHS0017872 due August 25, 2026), while Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia each solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids (due June 15 and June 5, 2026, respectively). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato procurement (S2910000017145 due June 19, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (PE77023NONST2027000000782 due October 19, 2026). Bidders are required to provide firm, fixed unit pricing, deliver within seven days or shorter windows, maintain liability insurance and compliance certifications, and respond to complex product-specification and delivery requirements across multiple locations. The code shows active procurement momentum, though the source does not identify opportunities specifically for non-GMO onion purees as a standalone product line.
