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 covering specialty vegetable purees and processed produce items that state and local governments procure as components of broader food service supply contracts. Recent solicitations show this code mapped to institutional food procurement, though the opportunities surfaced do not isolate onion purees as standalone line items; instead, they embed such products within large multi-category food supply bids for state corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and K-12 school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia state agencies), county and municipal school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District), and special-purpose district nutrition programs. School districts dominate the recent activity, reflecting the code's primary use in child nutrition service procurement for institutional meal preparation.

Geographic concentration centers on the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, with notable recent activity in Georgia (multiple school district bids), Texas (HHSC supplemental food and cafeteria food products), Oregon (Department of Corrections canned goods), Illinois (Veterans Home quarterly food), Missouri (Rockwood school district), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due Jul 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million), the Ben Hill County Schools food bid under IFB #26271 (sealed bids due Jun 15, 2026, covering fresh produce, meat, dairy, and dry goods across four school locations), the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts with estimated annual spend of approximately $4.4 million for Area One (response due Mar 4, 2026), and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (sealed bids due Apr 27, 2026, serving 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution centers). All solicitations are opened to qualified responsive bidders; no set-asides or incumbent protections are commonly referenced in the records. Activity is steady across the spring and early summer 2026 cycle, with school district nutrition programs driving the largest volume of procurement.
