UNSPSC 50415213: Organic rijnsberger onions

The variety of organic onions known as organic rijnsberger onions

UNSPSC 50415213 Organic rijnsberger onions, a Commodity code, describes fresh onion varieties for institutional food service, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect onions as a standalone category. Instead, issuing bodies are procuring produce broadly—including onions as line items within comprehensive fresh produce contracts for school nutrition programs and district food services. The code shows minimal recent activity tagged specifically to organic rijnsberger onions; the sourced opportunities list onions only as components of larger fruit-and-vegetable buys in which onions appear alongside apples, carrots, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, and dozens of other produce items.

School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri dominate the recent activity, issuing RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for annual fresh produce contracts spanning July 2026 through June 2027. Representative recent opportunities include Bulloch County School District's Farm to School RFP (due May 4, 2026) naming Vidalia onions among 24 produce items grown within 200 miles of the county; Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 Fresh Produce (due April 14, 2026) for 60 produce line items across 16 schools; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items (due April 23, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative, a regional cooperative covering 30 school districts in two Georgia areas with approximately $5.5 million combined estimated annual spend (due March 4, 2026). All require domestic sourcing or Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, liability insurance, and weekly or once-weekly delivery to designated schools. Bid pricing is typically indexed to USDA market reports or submitted on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis with firm pricing for 12 months. The geographic concentration is heavily weighted to Georgia (Bulloch, Glynn, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas, Liberty, Muscogee counties), with additional activity in Texas (McAllen ISD, Northside ISD San Antonio, Austin ISD), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI). No activity specific to organic rijnsberger onions as a branded or certified organic specialty item appears in the recent opportunities block; produce vendors responding to these solicitations would need to bid onions as commodity items competing on price, quality, and delivery reliability alongside conventional produce.
