UNSPSC 50405302: Alisa craig onions

The variety of onions known as alisa craig onions

UNSPSC 50405302 Alisa craig onions, a Commodity code, describes bulk fresh onions procured by state and local government food service operations — typically by state health and human services departments, correctional facilities, school districts, and senior services programs to supply institutional kitchens, cafeterias, and dining centers. Recent solicitations show onions purchased as part of mixed fresh produce contracts serving state-supported living centers, correctional food warehouses, school nutrition programs, and senior centers, often bundled with other vegetables and packaged goods rather than as standalone line items.

The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posts IFBs for state-supported living centers (Lufkin, Mexia), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicits for food warehouses (Snyder, Wynne, Palestine) and canning operations, Illinois correctional and mental health facilities request produce through the Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health, and Georgia and Texas school districts and Collier County (Florida) procurement offices issue RFPs and RFBs for fresh produce supply. Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas, with secondary volume in Illinois and Georgia. Representative current solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, bids due October 23, 2026, scope includes 22 line items of food and supplies with estimated annual quantities ranging 1–24 cases), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IW267376 (fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine, proposals due October 19, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 (fresh produce including onions at 50 lb. bags to Joliet Treatment Center, small business set-aside, bids due September 3, 2026), and Bryan County School Nutrition Program sealed bid for fresh produce including onions (790+ cases estimated, bids due May 27, 2026). Pricing is typically firm fixed F.O.B. Destination with freight included or specified separately, delivery cycles range from bi-weekly to as-needed, and vendors must meet USDA quality standards, carry liability insurance, comply with debarment and E-Verify requirements, and provide references demonstrating past performance on similar food service contracts.
