UNSPSC 50625114: Non GMO senshyu semi-globe yellow onion purees

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO senshyu semi-globe yellow 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 50625114 Non GMO senshyu semi-globe yellow onion purees (Commodity) represents a narrow product category that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty onion purees with non-GMO and senshyu semi-globe varietal specifications—does not map to the actual purchasing patterns visible in recent solicitations. The opportunities tagged with this code instead reflect broad-based food service procurement for institutional canteens, cafeterias, and nutrition programs, encompassing hundreds of line items spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, dry goods, and food service supplies. These solicitations are issued by state agencies managing institutional food service (Texas Health and Human Services Commission state supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), county and municipal school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), and special-purpose school nutrition authorities. The issuing bodies are repeat purchasers—Texas HHSC and state-supported living centers appear multiple times in the recent record—but they buy commodity-level foods and supplies through large, consolidated line-item bids rather than targeting specialty onion purees.

Recent activity shows concentrated solicitation in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFBs for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026) and El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026), and a supplemental food and consumables IFB serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million (response deadline March 19, 2026). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and Gwinnett County—posted food bids between May and June 2026 with response dates ranging from mid-June through mid-July. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026). The code shows no direct recent activity for specialty onion purees; opportunities instead use UNSPSC 50625114 as a catch-all institutional food-service tag despite the nominal commodity's specificity. Vendors pursuing work under this code should expect large institutional food-service RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs emphasizing competitive pricing, compliance with USDA grade standards, delivery to multiple sites, HACCP certifications, Buy American Act compliance where applicable, and debarment certifications for contracts exceeding $25,000.
