UNSPSC 50415216: Organic stuttgarter giant onions

The variety of organic onions known as organic stuttgarter giant onions

UNSPSC 50415216 Organic stuttgarter giant onions (Commodity) covers fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, though recent opportunities under this code show mixed application. State and local issuing bodies are actually buying produce through broader food-service and nutrition-program contracts that encompass vegetables, fruits, and related items rather than through solicitations specific to a single onion variety. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited food-service vendors for North Collier Regional Park concessions via an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) with a response deadline of March 6, 2025, emphasizing diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues; the Marion Health Care Coalition (MHCC) sought produce vendors for 2026-2027 delivery with a deadline of August 21, 2026; the State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and the Early County Board of Education sought line-by-line food bids for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program due June 8, 2026, specifying approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits meeting domestic sourcing and nutritional preferences. Issuing bodies include county park systems, regional health-care coalitions, state procurement offices, and school districts managing child-nutrition programs.

Recent activity spans Georgia (State of Georgia bids and Early County Schools), Florida (Collier County), and Marion Health Care Coalition procurement without a named state location in available detail. The Early County Schools opportunity is the most representative of current state and local demand: the district is procuring fresh vegetables as a line item within a comprehensive food contract supporting school meal programs, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars. The Collier County ITN reflects operational concession demand for produce as part of broader food-service scope. None of the recent opportunities isolate organic stuttgarter giant onions as a standalone or prominently featured commodity, suggesting the code's nominal specificity does not align with actual procurement practice, which groups produce within larger food-service and nutrition contracts rather than sourcing individual specialty onion varieties through dedicated solicitations.
