UNSPSC 50442201: Frozen beltsville bunching onions

The variety of bunching onions known as beltsville bunching onions that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50442201 Frozen beltsville bunching onions is a Commodity code that, despite its narrow nominal scope, sees little recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the product name. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting frozen Beltsville bunching onions as a line item. Instead, state and local governments buying under food-supply codes in this family are procuring broad institutional food baskets—shelf-stable and frozen grocery staples, proteins, dairy, produce, condiments, and paper goods—typically bundled across dozens or hundreds of line items in a single RFQ, IFB, or ITB. When frozen vegetables appear in recent solicitations, they are listed as commodity families (assorted frozen vegetables, corn, potatoes) rather than specific onion varieties. The issuing bodies span state correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, county correctional facilities, school districts, county departments of community services, and a state veterans home across multiple states and service lines.

Geographic spread of recent activity includes Texas (HHSC statewide contracts for state hospitals and supported living centers, TDCJ cafeteria procurement, school districts), Oregon (Department of Corrections frozen vegetable purchases), Pennsylvania (Montgomery County Correctional Facility), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Early County Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools), Illinois (state veterans home), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and New Jersey (Department of Human Services frozen vegetable distribution). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 360,000 pounds of assorted frozen vegetables (broccoli, vegetable blends, corn, green beans) due August 20, 2026, with historical pricing at $0.578–$0.67 per pound; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum potential value of $19 million over the full contract period, due August 18, 2026; and Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables, due October 19, 2026. Frozen onion products do not feature prominently in posted activity, suggesting limited dedicated procurement volume under this specific Commodity code.
