UNSPSC 50415206: Organic creaming onions

The variety of organic onions known as organic creaming onions

UNSPSC 50415206 Organic creaming onions, a Commodity code, sees limited direct procurement activity in state and local food service purchasing — recent opportunities mention onions only incidentally within broader fresh produce solicitations rather than as a standalone line item. The code describes a narrow product category (specifically creamed or pearl onions preserved in brine or cream sauce), but the recent state and local contract opportunities in the dataset focus on fresh produce for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and farm-to-school initiatives, where whole, fresh onions dominate requisitions rather than processed organic creaming onions. School districts and counties soliciting produce under broader fresh produce codes consistently specify onions as fresh vegetables (Vidalia onions, white onions, red onions) delivered in bulk cases, not as prepared creaming onions. The Bulloch County School District's Farm to School RFP explicitly names Vidalia onions among 24 locally grown items; Liberty County, Glynn County, and Muscogee County school nutrition programs list onions as part of their standard fresh vegetable line items; and the Douglas County School System cooperative procurement names onions within a 72-item produce basket for 30 Georgia school districts. None of these recent opportunities isolate organic creaming onions as a procurable commodity.

Issuing bodies driving recent fresh produce activity span state departments (Georgia Department of Education systems), county school districts (Bulloch, Liberty, Glynn, Muscogee, Douglas, Hillsborough, Savannah-Chatham, Early County, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), independent school districts (Northside in San Antonio, Austin in Texas, McAllen in Texas), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across Georgia). Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia, with Texas representing secondary activity; Florida and Missouri round out recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items with fresh onions specified; the Douglas County School System's GEC Buying Cooperative procurement (RFP through Bonfire, proposals due March 4, 2026) for 72 produce line items across two geographic areas serving 30 districts with estimated combined annual spend of $5.5 million; and the Bulloch County School District's Farm to School RFP (proposals due May 4, 2026) requiring locally grown produce within 200 miles including Vidalia onions. The code shows no evidence of recent state or local procurement activity specific to organic creaming onions as a standalone or preferred commodity.
