UNSPSC 50622210: Non GMO winter white bunching onion purees

The variety of Non GMO bunching onions known as Non GMO winter white 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 50622210 Non GMO winter white bunching onion purees is a Commodity code that names a specific produce product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not show demand for onion purees specifically. Instead, the opportunities reflect a much broader procurement pattern: state agencies, counties, school districts, and correctional facilities are buying general food consumables—including fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, shelf-stable items, and food service supplies—to stock institutional kitchens, canteens, and cafeterias. The code's nominal scope (a single processed vegetable product) does not align with what is actually being procured under it in the current market. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, county purchasing offices, independent school districts, and state correctional agencies across multiple states. None of the recent opportunities name onion purees as a line item or scope element; instead they describe comprehensive food and supply procurement for state hospitals, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and senior services operations.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (Health and Human Services Commission solicitations for state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria foods), Georgia (Gwinnett County food purchase, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and State of Georgia food and kitchen products), and Oregon (canned tomatoes for the Department of Corrections). Illinois also shows activity (quarterly food order for state facilities). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables and food service supplies at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (quotes due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026). The code as currently tagged shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its product definition.
