UNSPSC 50625113: Non GMO rijnsberger onion purees

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO rijnsberger 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 50625113 Non GMO rijnsberger onion purees (Commodity) represents a narrow produce ingredient category that state and local governments rarely procure as a standalone commodity; the code shows no recent activity aligned directly to non-GMO rijnsberger onion purees. However, the recent opportunities in the broader fresh and prepared food space—school nutrition programs, state institutional food service at supported living centers and correctional facilities, and county social services food supply—do include vegetable-forward procurement. State and local food-service buyers under related codes solicit fresh vegetables, canned vegetables, frozen prepared items, and condiments as part of comprehensive food-supply contracts serving cafeterias, kitchens, and food-service operations. When vegetable or produce components appear in institutional food procurement, they are typically bundled into larger food-supply or prepared-foods categories rather than specified in isolation. The issuing bodies driving recent activity in the food-service space include state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Georgia, Oregon Department of Corrections), county school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county departments of community services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state prison systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice).

Recent food-service procurement activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (June 2026, response due July 13, 2026), covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated foods with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 request for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated preferences; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food products across multiple categories (May 2026, bids due June 15, 2026). No recent solicitation specifically targets non-GMO rijnsberger onion purees. Pursuit of this code requires identifying or creating custom supply arrangements outside standard institutional food-service bidding cycles, or positioning purees and value-added vegetable products as components within broader food-supply or prepared-foods contracts.
