UNSPSC 50412209: Organic white lisbon bunching onions

The variety of organic bunching onions known as organic white lisbon bunching onions

UNSPSC 50412209 Organic white Lisbon bunching onions is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local education agencies. The recent opportunities, however, show virtually no sourcing activity directly aligned with this code — the onion category appears across several school nutrition RFPs and IFBs, but only as one line item among dozens of mixed produce categories in broader fresh-fruit-and-vegetable contracts. School districts, counties, and state education departments are the primary buying bodies. The Douglas County School System RFP for the GEC Buying Cooperative (SN 26-004) serves 30 Georgia school districts with approximately $5.5 million in annual produce and egg spending; Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (RFP 2026-048) covers over 130 campuses; and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa operates the federally funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program across 18 elementary schools. Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida show the densest recent activity, with school districts across these states issuing standing produce contracts for child nutrition program support.

Representative recent opportunities underscore the commodity's secondary market position. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an RFP for FY27 food and non-food supplies due June 8, 2026, encompassing 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits under USDA National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program requirements. Muscogee County School District (Georgia) solicited an ITB for approximately 60 produce line items (ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026), priced as markups over USDA Fruit and Vegetable Market News Index prices. Bulloch County School District (Georgia) requested fresh locally-grown produce for its Farm to School program (IFP due May 4, 2026), specifying 24 items including Vidalia onions and requiring domestic sourcing within 200 miles. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) issued a grocery-items bid for over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026) serving approximately 6,900 daily lunch participants. Across these solicitations, onions and other vegetables appear as contracted commodities, but bundled into broadline food-service agreements rather than isolated specialty sourcing. The typical contract runs July through June annually with fixed pricing for 12 months, HACCP and food-safety compliance required, and awards made on lowest responsive and responsible bidder or lowest qualified pricing basis, often on a line-item basis to multiple vendors.
