UNSPSC 50625100: Non GMO onion purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO 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 50625100 Non GMO onion purees is a Class code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this tag in current procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span a broad range of food products—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, cafeteria entrees, dairy, proteins, condiments, and consumable supplies—with no meaningful concentration in onion purees or purees of any kind. The code appears to be either misapplied by issuing bodies or represents legacy taxonomy that no longer matches operational purchasing practice.

State and local food procurement across these records is dominated by school nutrition programs and correctional or health facility food service operations, including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, multiple Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Liberty County, Ben Hill County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), Illinois Veterans Homes, Rockwood School District in Missouri, and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia. Most solicitations are IFBs or RFPs issued between January and June 2026, with response deadlines concentrated in February through July 2026. Recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC's food and consumable procurement for El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually), Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP covering 30 districts (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated annual value approximately $5.5 million across two areas), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens). Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois, with school districts as the dominant buyer type followed by state corrections and health agencies. The code's lack of alignment with actual procurement scope makes it unsuitable for targeting supplier development or bid strategy.
