UNSPSC 50415212: Organic red onions

The variety of organic onions known as organic red onions

UNSPSC 50415212 Organic red onions is a Commodity code covering fresh produce items sold to state and local institutional food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show that buyers use it to procure fresh vegetables and fruits for park concessions, healthcare facility meal programs, school nutrition operations, and state-level food service supply contracts. The code captures purchasing within broader food-service RFPs and produce-focused ITNs where organic red onions appear as line items or as part of comprehensive vegetable offerings. Issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County Parks and Recreation), county boards of education (Early County Board of Education), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and specialized health service coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts represent the most active segment, with district food service directors typically issuing annual line-by-line food bids under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program that enumerate specific produce items including fresh vegetables by commodity code.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering approximately 300 food items including fresh vegetables and fruits with emphasis on domestic sourcing and whole-grain and low-sodium formulations for July 2026 through June 2027 delivery; the State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025, requiring diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues, though the published due date appears inconsistent with the October 8, 2026 posting date. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-vendor proposal opportunity due August 21, 2026 for fresh fruits and vegetables during the 2026–2027 contract period. School district food-service bids typically run annual cycles with firm pricing for 15 days post-award and price escalation considered on a six-month basis supported by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index documentation; vendors must comply with Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP plans, and carry minimum general liability insurance of $500,000.
