UNSPSC 50622209: Non GMO white lisbon bunching onion purees

The variety of Non GMO bunching onions known as Non GMO white lisbon 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 50622209 Non GMO white lisbon bunching onion purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the current state and local procurement activity tagged under it. Recent opportunities show no solicitations for onion purees; instead, the code appears to capture a wide range of food service procurement across school districts, state facilities, and correctional institutions. State and local governments actually buying under this code tag are acquiring broad-based food supply contracts encompassing fresh produce, proteins, dairy products, grains, prepared foods, and consumables for school nutrition programs, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and correctional facilities. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), and regional buying cooperatives serving multiple districts.

The geographic spread spans Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri, with concentrated recent activity in Georgia school districts and Texas state facilities. Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' FY 26-27 food bid solicitation (IFB posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and condiments across four school locations; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable procurement for El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449 posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) with historical spend of $1.5 million; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 solicitation (IFB 2000004323 posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for grocery delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs (SN 26-004 posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) covers 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated spend of approximately $5.5 million combined. School nutrition programs consistently require Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, liability insurance typically at $1 million minimum, firm pricing for contract periods with allowances for price adjustments tied to USDA indices or CPI, and weekly or scheduled deliveries to multiple school sites.
