UNSPSC 50625801: Non GMO atlantic shallot purees

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO atlantic shallots. 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 50625801 Non GMO atlantic shallot purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct procurement activity in the recent state and local market. State and local governments purchase food products under this code as part of broader nutrition and food service operations, typically for school districts, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers, but the sourcing records reveal that shallot purees specifically are not among the line items actively bid in recent solicitations. Instead, the recent opportunities across this product family focus on broader food categories: canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, dairy products, proteins, bakery items, and consumable supplies across multiple jurisdictions and facility types. The issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Burke County and Muscogee County in Georgia, Liberty County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Ben Hill County in Georgia, and Douglas County in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and independent school nutrition programs. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri, with school district nutrition programs generating the highest frequency of recent RFPs and IFBs.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP food service categories and a prior contract value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases due June 19, 2026); the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive food and nutrition products due June 15, 2026, with weekly deliveries to four schools; and the Douglas County School System RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One. None of these recent solicitations explicitly name non-GMO atlantic shallot purees as a line item or requirement, indicating that this specific commodity either falls outside current state and local procurement focus or is sourced as part of larger food aggregations under different product codes or through less-visible standing contracts.
