UNSPSC 50402209: White lisbon bunching onions

The variety of bunching onions known as white lisbon bunching onions

UNSPSC 50402209 White lisbon bunching onions, a Commodity code, represents fresh produce items that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service operations, school meal programs, senior services, and facility canteens. Recent state and local solicitations show white lisbon onions and related fresh produce being procured alongside broader fresh-vegetable assortments rather than as line items specifically named in the available opportunities; however, the code sits within a family of fresh produce buying that captures significant institutional demand. Issuing bodies span state-supported living centers and institutional care facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Bartow County Schools, Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Madison Metropolitan School District, Early County Board of Education), county human services and recreation departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and state mental health and corrections facilities (Illinois Department of Mental Health, Illinois Department of Corrections). Texas leads recent activity, with TDCJ, HHSC, and other state agencies posting multiple fresh-produce solicitations between June and October 2026; Georgia school districts and the state procurement office also show consistent volume. Institutional food service buyers (prisons, care facilities, schools) dominate the issuing-body mix, with school nutrition programs increasingly emphasizing local sourcing and seasonal availability.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods (including fresh vegetables) for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, posted October 16, 2026, with bids due October 23, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IW267376 for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to Palestine, posted October 12, 2026, due October 19, 2026; the Bryan County School Nutrition Program's sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce (including onions at 790+ cases estimated) for school year 2026–2027, posted April 27, 2026, due May 27, 2026; and the Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for 40 produce line items including onions, posted May 19, 2026, due June 16, 2026. Solicitations typically require F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight prepaid, firm fixed quotes, USDA-grade compliance, and bi-weekly to weekly deliveries. School districts increasingly mandate local sourcing (within 400 miles) and organic options at preferred pricing, and buyers apply prevailing-wage compliance and security protocols for correctional and care facilities. Payment terms run Net 30 from acceptance, with contract terms typically one to three years and optional renewals.
