UNSPSC 50625119: Non GMO red storage onion purees

The variety of Non GMO onions known as Non GMO red storage 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 50625119 Non GMO red storage onion purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are procuring shelf-stable food products for institutional food service — specifically canned and processed vegetables, proteins, condiments, and consumable supplies for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. Recent opportunities show the code is being applied loosely to broader consumable-food and kitchen-supply procurement rather than strictly to onion purees; the actual work spans prepared foods (french fries, hashbrown patties, chicken wings), canned vegetables (tomatoes, beans, peppers), fresh and frozen proteins, dairy products, grains, condiments, and single-use service items (containers, napkins, straws, foil sheets). The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services departments, state correctional departments, county nutrition programs, and school districts. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice each appear multiple times as major repeat buyers.

The geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumable foods, due October 23, 2026) soliciting 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies with F.O.B. Destination delivery and firm annual pricing; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.) requiring delivery within 72 hours to Lawrenceville, Georgia; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), which included Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia also issued school-nutrition food bids (May 2026) encompassing hundreds of line items across multiple food categories with monthly delivery to multiple school locations. Texas Department of Criminal Justice and state hospital systems have issued comprehensive food-and-consumables solicitations spanning 200+ line items with delivery to multiple warehouse and distribution points.
