UNSPSC 50444107: Frozen cipolinos

The variety of herbs known as cipolinos that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50444107 Frozen cipolinos is a Commodity code for specialty frozen onion products that state and local governments procure primarily for food service operations at institutional facilities. The code sees activity from state health and human services agencies supplying state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and related congregate-care environments where bulk food purchasing through formal competitive bidding is standard. Recent solicitations indicate that procurement under this code bundles frozen cipolinos with broader food and consumable supply contracts rather than as standalone line items, with issuing bodies using it alongside related NIGP and UNSPSC classifications to denote product categories within comprehensive food service RFQs and IFBs.

Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the State of Georgia have posted recent opportunities in this space. The Texas HHS Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a response deadline of July 13, 2026, covering NIGP classes 385, 390, 380, and 393 for food service and canteen operations; the historical contract value for the prior period was $1.5 million, with award based on best value to the state. The State of Georgia posted solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026, requesting bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026, response deadline. Both opportunities reflect the typical issuing-body profile for this code: state agencies operating institutional food service programs that consolidate multiple food and supply line items under single competitive solicitations rather than issuing product-specific RFPs.
