UNSPSC 50445203: Frozen boiling onions

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

UNSPSC 50445203 Frozen boiling onions, a Commodity code, describes perishable frozen vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, including correctional facilities, schools, health and human services agencies, and distribution programs. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for frozen boiling onions; instead, the code appears to be tagged on a broad range of frozen vegetable and grocery procurements that encompass multiple vegetable types under wider commodity families. State and local buyers in this space include departments of corrections (Oregon ODOC, Texas TDCJ), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, City Schools of Decatur, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), county correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), and state nutrition assistance programs (New Jersey DSS). Recent activity clusters in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Missouri, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Illinois, and other states.

Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs in June and July 2026 for frozen corn (S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026) at $0.498 per pound and frozen potato products (S2910000017439, due July 24, 2026) at $0.3811 per pound, both under the OregonBuys system with five percent in-state preferences stacked for a ten percent maximum. Texas HHSC solicited supplemental food and consumables including frozen products (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026; HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) with maximum contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years and historical values of $1.5 million annually. School districts nationwide issued recurring annual grocery and frozen-food RFPs and ITBs—Fairfax County Public Schools (Master Grocery K-12, April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI (grocery items and NOI products, April 29, 2026), and multiple Georgia systems (Bulloch, Burke, Early, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham) all posting spring 2026 procurements with firm pricing for 12-month terms, Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and $500,000 to $2 million liability insurance requirements. No recent opportunities specifically name frozen boiling onions as a distinct line item; the code sees minimal direct activity and appears to absorb into broader frozen-vegetable and grocery categories where vendors bid assorted frozen products at per-pound or per-case rates to meet mixed institutional menus.
