UNSPSC 50412201: Organic beltsville bunching onions

The variety of organic bunching onions known as organic beltsville bunching onions

UNSPSC 50412201 Organic beltsville bunching onions is a Commodity code that names a single produce line item, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly procure fresh produce broadly—fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs—rather than bunching onions specifically. School districts and state departments are the primary buyers, purchasing produce through annual contracts to support child nutrition programs, farm-to-school initiatives, and institutional food service. The code shows significant activity across multiple issuing bodies but does not map cleanly to actual buying patterns; vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should interpret the scope as general fresh-produce supply to K–12 nutrition programs rather than a specialized onion category.

State departments and school districts—from large systems such as Austin Independent School District and Northside Independent School District in Texas to smaller county systems in Georgia—dominate recent solicitations. Georgia accounts for the heaviest concentration of recent postings, with school districts in Bulloch County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Early County, and Douglas County all issuing produce RFPs or ITBs between February and May 2026, alongside state-level procurement from Georgia for fresh produce (IFB #4 2027-2026, posted April 20, 2026, due May 27, 2026) and food supplies generally (Solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009, posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026). Texas school districts—McAllen, Austin, and Northside ISD in San Antonio—issued RFPs in February and March 2026. Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District and Florida's Hillsborough County Public Schools round out the geographic footprint. All recent opportunities are IFBs, RFPs, or ITBs with response deadlines clustered between late March and late May 2026. Contracts typically run July 1 to June 30 the following year, with firm pricing required throughout and often include renewal options for one to four additional one-year terms. Many solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, GAP certification, USDA Child Nutrition Program compliance, and domestic sourcing preferences, and several—including Bulloch County (local-grown within 200 miles) and Austin ISD (Good Food Purchasing Program)—explicitly prioritize regional and sustainable sourcing.
