UNSPSC 50404107: Cipolinos

The variety of herbs known as cipolinos

UNSPSC 50404107 Cipolinos, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh and specialty stone fruits that state and local governments procure for food service operations, institutional dining, school cafeterias, and state-supported living facilities. Recent solicitations show purchasing focused on fresh produce supply chains supporting large-scale institutional feeding programs rather than standalone specialty stone-fruit procurement; the code appears tagged to broader fresh-produce and grocery solicitations where cipolinos represent one line item among hundreds in comprehensive food-service contracts. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Human Services), state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and special-purpose food service cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving multiple Georgia districts). The mix reflects institutional food service demand across education, corrections, healthcare, and state-supported living environments.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and anticipated September 2026 contract start; the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined across two geographic areas, proposals due March 4, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supply and delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens, sealed bids due April 27, 2026. The Rockwood R-VI School District solicitation (posting March 31, 2026) covered over 900 line items of grocery items for the 2026–27 school year with electronic bids due April 29, 2026. These are volume, recurring procurements where cipolinos bid as part of standard fresh-produce line items within larger comprehensive food contracts rather than as standalone specialty items.
