UNSPSC 10311617: Fresh cut tuberosum allium

Fresh cut bloom of the tuberosum variety of alliums

UNSPSC 10311617 Fresh cut tuberosum allium is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh-cut onions and allium products procured by state and local government agencies for operational use, food service, and educational purposes. The recent solicitations posted under this code show minimal direct purchasing of the commodity itself; instead, state and local bodies are buying allium-related products as part of broader educational supply catalogs, horticultural services, and general plant procurement. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span educational cooperatives, county parks departments, and municipal procurement offices, indicating fragmented demand across multiple sectors rather than consolidated commodity purchasing. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas is the most active buyer, operating a cooperative purchasing vehicle serving multiple school districts with a two-year contract term valued at $40.677 billion for educational activities and supplies, though fresh-cut allium represents only a fraction of that catalog spend. Los Alamos County and the City of Dallas have posted separate plant and horticultural procurement activities that may include allium or allium-related products as secondary line items within broader landscaping and general plant purchases.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and New Mexico. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative posted EDACT2628 on June 15, 2026, with proposals due July 30, 2026, representing a renewal of existing cooperative purchasing with 136 previous awards. Los Alamos County issued RFP26-55 for hanging flower baskets and maintenance on May 7, 2026, with proposals due June 4, 2026, though this procurement is horticultural rather than fresh-cut commodity focused. The City of Dallas posted an Informal Solicitation (IFS) 215260 for plants on January 28, 2026, with a February 3, 2026 deadline, requiring new, unopened items shipped FOB to Dallas. The code shows little sustained activity dedicated to fresh-cut allium as a standalone procurement; opportunities are embedded within larger educational supplies, landscaping, and general plant-purchase solicitations where allium may be a minor component rather than a primary procurement driver.
