UNSPSC 50622207: Non GMO santa claus bunching onion purees

The variety of Non GMO bunching onions known as Non GMO santa claus 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 50622207 Non GMO santa claus bunching onion purees (Commodity) covers fresh and processed food items purchased by state and local health, human services, corrections, and education agencies for institutional feeding programs, though recent state and local opportunities show little procurement activity specifically matched to this code's nominal scope. The opportunities tagged under this code encompass broad food service supply chains: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited consumable foods and supplemental food and consumable products for state supported living centers and state hospitals; the Oregon Department of Corrections has procured canned tomatoes; Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia have solicited comprehensive food bids for school nutrition programs; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has bid cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners has requested shelf-stable food items for senior services; and the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice has bid quarterly weekly food orders. Issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services departments (Texas, Oregon, Illinois), county school districts (Georgia), county government (Gwinnett), and state corrections agencies (Texas TDCJ, Oregon). The code appears to see activity across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with one Illinois solicitation.

Recent opportunities reflect large-scale institutional food procurement rather than specialty onion purees: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) covered 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and refrigerated products with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) encompassed hundreds of line items across produce, meat, dairy, and dry goods for four schools; Burke County Public Schools' sealed-bid procurement (due June 5, 2026) included nearly 400 line items across multiple categories for five schools; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF (extended to May 4, 2026) covered approximately 382 line items of proteins, dairy, grains, and staples for five warehouse areas. These solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, HACCP plans, Buy American provisions where applicable, firm fixed pricing, and FOB Destination delivery. The code shows little recent procurement volume specifically tied to non-GMO specialty onion purees; the opportunities are dominated by commodity-scale institutional food service.
