UNSPSC 50412210: Organic winter white bunching onions

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

UNSPSC 50412210 Organic winter white bunching onions is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce—including onions, apples, carrots, leafy greens, berries, melons, and eggs—through school nutrition programs, institutional food service operations, and child nutrition initiatives. The code sees activity primarily from school districts and county boards of education sourcing produce for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program participation, farm-to-school initiatives, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) delivery. Solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions requiring domestic or domestic-content products, HACCP certification, food safety traceability, and weekly or twice-weekly delivery to school sites between early morning and early afternoon. Vendors typically must maintain refrigerated delivery equipment, comply with produce quality standards, provide liability insurance in the $1 million to $2 million range, and accept firm pricing for 12-month contract periods with potential price redetermination tied to USDA market reports or Consumer Price Index data. School districts frequently reserve the right to award line-item contracts to multiple vendors and to renew contracts for up to three additional one-year terms.
