UNSPSC 50415217: Organic sweet onions

The variety of organic onions known as organic sweet onions

UNSPSC 50415217 Organic sweet onions is a Commodity code covering fresh produce sourcing by state and local government food service and institutional buyers. Recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader produce-acquisition activity than the nominal product name suggests — jurisdictions are buying produce as part of competitive food-service and meal-program contracts rather than as standalone organic-onion purchases. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county parks and recreation divisions, school districts managing National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, state procurement offices, and health-care coalitions. The work involves sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables according to operational specifications, meeting food-safety compliance and product-freshness standards, managing seasonal pricing adjustments, and coordinating delivery schedules to match institutional meal-service demand.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, and at least one multi-county health-care region. The Marion Health Care Coalition issued an RFP for qualified produce vendors with an August 21, 2026 response date. The State of Georgia posted an invitation for bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued a line-by-line IFB for approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits to support school meal programs, with bids due June 8, 2026 and awards expected within 60 days of opening. Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division in Florida solicited proposals via Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a March 6, 2025 due date, where fresh produce and beverage sourcing formed part of the concession operations scope. Contract terms typically run one to three years with renewal options; school districts often allow piggybacking by other jurisdictions on awarded pricing.
