UNSPSC 50405307: Express yellow o-x onions

The variety of onions known as express yellow o-x onions

UNSPSC 50405307 Express yellow o-x onions is a Commodity code that covers fresh onions delivered to state and local institutional food service operations — specifically, state correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school districts, and mental health centers procure yellow and white onions in bulk quantities (typically 50-pound bags or case volumes) as part of weekly or bi-weekly produce deliveries. Recent solicitations show onions specified alongside other fresh vegetables (carrots, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, broccoli) in mixed produce bids rather than standalone onion procurements. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments—the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Illinois Department of Corrections—alongside school districts and county-level institutions. Texas accounts for the heaviest recent activity, with Georgia school systems and Illinois state facilities representing secondary geographic concentration.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations for food warehouse delivery (IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse and IW267376 for Palestine, both due mid-October 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections' RFQ for fresh produce at Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026, with small business set-aside), and the Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bid for fresh produce across 24 school nutrition sites (PE64710NONST2027000000078, due June 16, 2026, requesting 40 line items including onions and carrots). School districts in Georgia—Bryan County Schools (PE55308NONST2027000000012) and Bartow County Schools (10-2026-019)—issued RFPs for local fresh vegetables with sourcing requirements within 400 miles. Pricing is consistently F.O.B. Destination with vendors absorbing freight; quality standards require USDA grade compliance, product freshness guarantees, and weekly or bi-weekly delivery windows. Contracts typically run 12 months with optional renewal terms.
