UNSPSC 50415219: Organic red storage onions

The variety of organic onions known as organic red storage onions

UNSPSC 50415219 Organic red storage onions (Commodity) encompasses fresh produce sourcing for state and local institutional food service operations—school nutrition programs, county parks concessions, healthcare coalitions, and centralized state food procurement. State and local governments buy organic red storage onions as part of larger produce contracts that include fresh fruits and vegetables for meal preparation, cafeteria service, and concession operations. The work is not standalone onion procurement but rather line-item sourcing within broader food-service RFPs and IFBs that specify multiple produce categories, delivery schedules, quality standards, and food-safety compliance.

Recent activity shows school districts and county governments as the primary issuing bodies. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026 for the National School Lunch Program across three schools, with produce items (vegetables, fruits) explicitly listed among 300+ food SKUs. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITN due March 6, 2025 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, requiring concession vendors to source diverse fresh produce for water parks and athletic facilities. Marion Health Care Coalition (described as seeking produce proposals due August 21, 2026) and the State of Georgia (food, supplies, and kitchen-products bid due June 22, 2026) show additional institutional buyers. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida based on recent postings, with school districts and county parks departments driving the volume. Vendors should expect line-item pricing, volume commitments, mandatory HACCP and food-safety compliance, Buy American preferences where applicable, domestic-sourcing emphasis (particularly in school nutrition), and delivery-schedule requirements (e.g., early-morning delivery windows, temperature control, stock rotation by sell-by date).
