UNSPSC 50407062: Tree onion

The type of vegetable known as tree onion

UNSPSC 50407062 Tree onion, a Commodity code, represents fresh produce items that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — primarily through correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and health departments. The code encompasses fresh onions and allium vegetables sourced as component items within broader produce procurement. Recent solicitations show that tree onions appear alongside broader fresh vegetable line items in contracts serving correctional institutions, state mental health and developmental services facilities, and school nutrition programs, but the code itself does not dominate activity; instead, onions (yellow, white, and green varieties) are consistently bid as individual line items within composite food service or produce contracts rather than as standalone procurement categories.

State and local issuing bodies actively soliciting produce that includes onion varieties span correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice at Snyder, Wynne, and Palestine food warehouses), state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission at Lufkin and Mexia state supported living centers), school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools in Georgia, and Early County Board of Education), and specialized food service vendors supporting senior centers and child care programs. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers in the recent-opportunities window. Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois and Wisconsin. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026), which specified fresh vegetables across 22 line items for fiscal year 2027 operations; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice RFP IW267376 (fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine, posted October 12, 2026, due October 19, 2026); and Bryan County School Nutrition Program sealed bid for fresh produce (posted April 27, 2026, due May 27, 2026), which itemized onions at approximately 790 cases as a discrete produce component for school year 2026–2027. None of these opportunities isolate tree onions as a single-item procurement — onions appear as one among 20–40+ produce line items in composite bids where pricing and delivery are requested line-by-line.
