UNSPSC 50625110: Non GMO pearl onion purees

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO pearl 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 50625110 Non GMO pearl onion purees (Commodity) appears infrequently in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specialized vegetable puree product—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it. The Illinois Veterans Home's quarterly food order (RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumable procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) both span broad food and consumable categories—proteins, dairy, prepared foods, condiments, and supplies—rather than specialty puree products. Similarly, the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato solicitation (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) and multiple school district grocery and produce bids across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas procure fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared foods in bulk, not non-GMO pearl onion purees as a discrete line item.

The mismatch between the code's scope and actual procurement activity suggests that state and local agencies tagging opportunities under 50625110 may be using it as a catch-all for food consumables rather than for the specific product. Issuing bodies driving recent activity include state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas HHSC, Oregon DOC), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Fairfax County in Virginia, Muscogee County and Liberty County in Georgia, Burke County and Savannah-Chatham in Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Illinois, and Oregon. No recent solicitations explicitly name non-GMO pearl onion purees as a line item; the code shows minimal decision-relevant activity for vendors targeting that specific commodity.
