UNSPSC 50415204: Organic buffalo onions

The variety of organic onions known as organic buffalo onions

UNSPSC 50415204 Organic buffalo onions, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce procurement by state and local food service operators — school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and state agencies purchasing vegetables and fruits for institutional feeding programs, concession operations, and operational meal services. The recent solicitations show state and local buyers are acquiring produce as part of broader food-service contracts that bundle fresh vegetables and fruits with other food items, non-food supplies, and kitchen products; organic buffalo onions appear as a line item within these larger scopes rather than as standalone specialty purchases. Issuing bodies span school districts (Early County Board of Education), county parks and recreation departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and health-care affiliated coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition).

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast, with Georgia and Florida (Collier County) showing the most recent solicitations. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line IFB for food and non-food products due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools; that contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025, requiring qualified vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options including fresh produce across multiple park venues; the three-year contract includes a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. The State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals from qualified vendors due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period covering provision and delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables according to operational needs and seasonal availability.
