UNSPSC 50625103: Non GMO boiling onion purees

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO boiling 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 50625103 Non GMO boiling onion purees is a Commodity code that does not map meaningfully to recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show no instances of onion purees, GMO or otherwise, being solicited. Instead, the block includes bids for bulk food products serving institutional cafeterias, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state supported living centers — primarily shelf-stable items (canned vegetables, proteins, grains, condiments), fresh and frozen produce, dairy, and food service supplies. The code's nominal scope diverges sharply from what state and local governments are actually buying under the tag in these opportunities.

Activity spans Texas (Health and Human Services Commission for state supported living centers and correctional facilities), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and the State of Georgia), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois (state procurement). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (35 line items, quotes due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case in the prior purchase (bids due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 spanning multiple food categories for four school locations (bids due June 15, 2026). No opportunities in the block specifically solicit non-GMO boiling onion purees or purees of any kind, indicating this code should be reviewed for accuracy against actual procurement patterns.
