UNSPSC 50622206: Non GMO redmate bunching onion purees

The variety of Non GMO bunching onions known as Non GMO redmate 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 50622206 Non GMO redmate bunching onion purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct recent activity under its specific product designation; state and local governments do procure food products under the broader categories where this code sits, but the recent solicitations show they are acquiring general grocery items, fresh produce, prepared foods, and bulk staples rather than specialty onion purees. The 16 representative opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri, all seeking food supply contracts for cafeterias, nutrition programs, and institutional food service. Most are IFBs or RFPs with response dates between February and June 2026, organized by category, season, and institution size rather than by ingredient-level SKUs. The mix of issuing bodies skews heavily toward K-12 school nutrition programs—Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—alongside state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and select municipal entities. School districts account for the largest share of recent volume.

Geographic concentration shows heaviest activity in Georgia (six recent school district opportunities), followed by Texas (three state agency procurements), Missouri (two school district procurements), Oregon (two state corrections procurements), Illinois (two state agency procurements), and Virginia (one large school district). The Georgia school nutrition market alone generated six sealed-bid solicitations in the first six months of 2026, with estimated values ranging from under $1 million to $9 million annually. The code itself does not align closely with any single recent opportunity—the solicitations are tagged to broader food-supply categories and do not reference specialty onion purees as line items. Vendors pursuing this code should recognize that state and local food procurement operates on institution-level aggregated demand (annual grocery buys, quarterly food orders, fresh-produce seasonal contracts) rather than ingredient-specific sourcing, making direct relevance limited unless positioned as part of a broader food-service distributor or specialty produce supplier responding to larger categorical RFPs where purees appear as optional line items or value-added offerings.
