UNSPSC 50622211: Non GMO winter-over bunching onion purees

The variety of Non GMO bunching onions known as Non GMO winter-over 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 50622211 Non GMO winter-over bunching onion purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting onion purees or products matching the code's description; instead, the indexed opportunities cover broad food procurement for schools, correctional facilities, and state health agencies purchasing canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, and general grocery supplies through IFB, RFP, and RFQ vehicles. The one opportunity nominally tagged to this code—the State of Illinois FY-27 IVHQ Quarterly Food Order (RFQ, due June 26, 2026)—lists no line items specific to onion purees and provides no details on scope, making it impossible to confirm whether the code assignment reflects actual procurement need or a cataloging error.

State and local procurement under this code, based on available evidence, does not show active competition or issuing-body concentration. School districts, state health agencies, and correctional departments are the primary food buyers in the opportunities block, but none of the indexed solicitations name onion purees as a procurement item. Geographic spread across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri is evident in the broader food category, but no jurisdiction shows repeated demand for this specific commodity. The code appears to be either underutilized or misaligned with how state and local buyers actually categorize specialty produce products in their procurement systems. Business development professionals should verify whether this code matches their product line or whether buyer RFPs and IFBs use different classification schemes before pursuing opportunities under 50622211.
