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 representing a narrow product line within food procurement, but the recent state and local solicitation activity does not support sustained demand for this specific item. The code shows no recent opportunities targeting non-GMO red storage onion purees as a distinct line item. School districts, state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, and county school systems soliciting under related food commodity codes—such as fresh produce, canned vegetables, and general grocery items—do not isolate onion purees as a contracting focus. Instead, state and local buyers are purchasing these products, when needed, as part of broader vegetable, produce, or prepared-food categories bundled into larger RFPs and IFBs that span dozens or hundreds of line items and multiple product families.

State and local food procurement activity concentrates in school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and large school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System) posting the most frequent recent opportunities. These bodies solicit food products through IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs with response dates ranging from late February 2026 through early July 2026, typically covering annual contract periods from July 2026 through June 2027. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services division's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products at state supported living centers spanning NIGP Class numbers 385, 390, 380, and 393; the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million; and the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division's ITB S2910000016405 (due April 6, 2026) for canned tomatoes. Opportunities consistently require firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, HACCP and food safety certification, general liability insurance, and compliance with state procurement regulations. Bidding is fragmented across multiple geographic regions and issuing bodies rather than concentrated in a single state or jurisdiction.
