UNSPSC 50625115: Non GMO sturon onion purees

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO sturon 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 50625115 Non GMO Sturon Onion Purees, a Commodity code, frames products state and local governments buy for institutional food service — primarily school districts, state health and human services agencies, and corrections departments sourcing prepared food ingredients alongside fresh produce, proteins, and specialty items for cafeterias, state hospitals, and residential facilities. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for non-GMO sturon onion purees specifically; instead, the code's recent activity reflects broad food service procurement across multiple product categories. State and local issuing bodies pursuing this category span school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state hospitals and supported living centers), and other state institutions (Illinois Veterans Home). School districts and state HHS facilities dominate recent posting volume.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia, with recent opportunities also in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) covering broad NIGP commodity categories with historical annual volume around $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products across multiple categories with deliveries to four school locations (due June 15, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering weekly deliveries to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). The code shows little recent activity specifically targeting non-GMO or specialty puree products; recent state and local procurement under this UNSPSC appears to treat onion purees as one line item among hundreds in broad-based institutional food service buys rather than as a differentiated category commanding standalone solicitations.
