UNSPSC 50622205: Non GMO red beard bunching onion purees

The variety of Non GMO bunching onions known as Non GMO red beard 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 50622205 Non GMO red beard bunching onion purees, a Commodity code, sees limited direct recent activity in state and local procurement, though the underlying code family encompasses fresh produce and processed vegetable products widely procured by school districts, state institutions, and public benefit organizations. State and local governments buy food products across all categories under this tier — proteins, produce, dairy, prepared foods, and consumables — through school nutrition programs, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and veterans' facilities. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, and Douglas County School System), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and public institutions (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School districts dominate the recent activity, each running annual or multi-year contracts for comprehensive grocery supply covering hundreds of line items and multiple delivery locations.

Geographic spread concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with the most recent volume of solicitations in Georgia and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026), covering food products under NIGP classifications with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and contract terms through August 31, 2028 with renewal options; Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food procurement across four schools (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026), encompassing fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, seasonings, and kitchen supplies with Buy American Act compliance required and delivery to four school locations; and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) seeking grocery supply and delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries and a contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with four renewal options. Price competition is intense across all recent solicitations, with awards made on lowest responsive bid or best-value basis, and vendors typically required to bid on minimum thresholds (76–95 percent of line items) to remain responsive. The code shows active demand but no recent opportunities specifically naming non-GMO red beard bunching onion purees as a line item or requirement.
