UNSPSC 50622202: Non GMO feast bunching onion purees

The variety of Non GMO bunching onions known as Non GMO feast 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 50622202 Non GMO feast bunching onion purees is a Commodity code that covers specialty food ingredients and prepared produce for institutional food service. State and local procurement activity under this code, however, shows little direct solicitation for the specific product described—onion purees whether GMO or non-GMO. Instead, recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader food procurement by state health and human services agencies, correctional departments, county welfare services, and school districts sourcing prepared and shelf-stable foods for cafeterias, dining facilities, and on-campus food service. The actual spending under the code appears driven by institutional foodservice operations purchasing consumables, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared-food components for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services, and school nutrition programs across multiple jurisdictions.

Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (which has posted multiple IFBs for state-supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso), the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, school districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the State of Georgia. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional solicitation activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumable foods, due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, due October 19, 2026), the TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB 304T26300CF (382 line items of institutional food products across five geographic distribution areas, due May 4, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (comprehensive food procurement for school nutrition across four locations, due June 15, 2026). The code's primary relevance sits in high-volume, recurring institutional food procurement rather than specialized produce purees; sourcing of actual onion purees or comparable vegetable purees appears not to surface in recent state and local solicitation activity under this classification.
