UNSPSC 50415211: Organic red baron onions

The variety of organic onions known as organic red baron onions

UNSPSC 50415211 Organic red baron onions, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce sourcing for state and local food service operations, though recent solicitations tagged under this code actually encompass broader fresh-produce procurement rather than the specific onion variety the code name implies. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through food-service solicitations at parks and recreation departments, school districts, and healthcare providers seeking fresh vegetables and fruits for dining programs, concessions, and institutional feeding. The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include county parks departments, school boards, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices. Work solicited includes produce delivery with compliance to food-safety standards, seasonal pricing adjustments, temperature-controlled transport, and rotation protocols matching USDA specifications, often bundled with broader food-service and non-food supply requirements.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Florida. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) in October 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a March 6, 2025 deadline, requiring vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options including produce across multiple park venues with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Early County Board of Education in Georgia posted a line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs across three schools, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Marion Health Care Coalition in Florida sought produce vendors for the 2026-2027 period (proposals due August 21, 2026) to provide fresh fruits and vegetables with delivery and freshness guarantees. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026) with details contained in a 12 MB attachment.
