UNSPSC 50405313: Rijnsberger onions

The variety of onions known as rijnsberger onions

UNSPSC 50405313 Rijnsberger onions, a Commodity code, names a specific onion variety but sees little recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to this cultivar. Instead, state and local governments procure fresh onions and mixed fresh produce through broader commodity codes; recent solicitations name onions as line items within larger fresh-produce contracts but do not isolate Rijnsberger onions by variety. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health, Georgia school districts, and the City of San Antonio have all posted fresh-produce and food-service solicitations in the past six months, but none explicitly specify Rijnsberger onions as a distinct commodity. School nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, mental health centers, and senior services divisions are the primary issuing bodies soliciting fresh produce contracts. Recent solicitations from Texas HHSC name yellow or white onions in 50-pound bags (Illinois DOC at Joliet Treatment Center, August 2026) or general onion quantities (Bryan County Schools in Georgia listing 790+ cases of onions, April 2026), but these do not distinguish cultivar or origin.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (TDCJ, HHS, Dallas Head Start), Illinois (DOC, DMH), and Georgia (school districts), with scattered single solicitations from Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District) and Florida (Collier County). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (October 23, 2026 due date), which lists prepared foods and food service supplies with no specific produce varieties named; the Illinois Department of Corrections RFQ for fresh produce at Joliet Treatment Center (September 3, 2026), specifying yellow or white onions in 50-pound bags among other produce; and Bryan County Schools' sealed bid for school nutrition fresh produce (May 27, 2026 due date), naming 790+ cases of onions without varietal specification. The code shows minimal market signal for Rijnsberger onions specifically—vendors pursuing onion supply contracts to state and local buyers should focus on standard yellow or white onion sourcing and compliance with bulk-purchase, food-safety, and delivery-window requirements established in broader fresh-produce solicitations rather than cultivar differentiation.
