UNSPSC 50626862: Non GMO tree onion purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO tree onion. 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 50626862 Non GMO tree onion purees (Commodity) does not align with the state and local contract activity posted under this code. Recent solicitations tagged with this Commodity code span broad institutional food procurement — weekly meal orders for state facilities, school nutrition programs across multiple districts, institutional cafeteria supply, fresh produce, canned goods, and supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and correctional facilities. None of the recently posted opportunities reference tree onion purees, non-GMO specifications, or puree-format products. The code shows little relevant activity; instead, the opportunities reflect general food supply contracting at the scale of schools, correctional departments, and health and human services agencies across multiple states.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food procurement under this code include school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County in Georgia, Muscogee County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Fairfax County in Virginia, and Douglas County in Georgia), state departments (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with activity also in Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, approximately $1.5 million estimated annual value), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 procurement (IFB 2000004323, 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through GEC (covering 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million for Area One, due March 4, 2026).
