UNSPSC 50625108: Non GMO kelsae onion purees

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO kelsae 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 50625108 Non GMO kelsae onion purees is a Commodity code that in practice covers a narrow slice of fresh produce procurement — onion products specifically — as part of much larger food-service solicitations. State and local governments do not solicit kelsae onion purees as standalone items; instead, they appear (when at all) as line items within institutional food-supply contracts for state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations requesting kelsae onion purees by name or specification. The opportunities shown span food-service procurement for state supported living centers in Texas, county senior services in Georgia, Oregon corrections, Illinois institutional services, Georgia schools, and Texas correctional facilities—all of which solicit dozens to hundreds of line items across proteins, dairy, frozen goods, vegetables, condiments, and supplies. When produce appears in these bids, it is typically categorized generically (fresh or frozen vegetables, canned or fresh fruits) or named by common item (tomatoes, potatoes) rather than by cultivar or proprietary variety.

The code shows no discernible recent state and local procurement activity at present. Geographic spread across the opportunities block reaches Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, but none of the nine recent solicitations (posted May through October 2026) references kelsae onion purees or any non-GMO onion product by specification, brand, or line item. The absence of this commodity from active state and local food-service RFQs and IFBs—which typically list hundreds of produce and food-service items—suggests either very limited demand, procurement through generic vegetable line items that do not name cultivar, or distribution through national food-service wholesalers rather than direct-award contracts. A vendor pursuing this code should verify whether state and local buyers actually specify onion puree by cultivar or variety, or whether such products flow through broader produce or food-service supplier agreements not captured at the commodity level.
