UNSPSC 50445206: Frozen creaming onions

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

UNSPSC 50445206 Frozen creaming onions, a Commodity code, describes frozen vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations — notably correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and health and human services facilities. The code, however, shows little recent activity aligned specifically to creaming onions; instead, state and local opportunities posted under related frozen-vegetable codes reveal broad purchasing of frozen vegetable assortments, individual frozen vegetables (carrots, corn, peas, broccoli, mixed blends), and comprehensive food procurement spanning fresh, frozen, and dry goods for institutional meals.

The issuing bodies soliciting frozen vegetables include state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, multiple Georgia districts), county correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia). The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas HHSC appear repeatedly across multiple recent frozen-vegetable solicitations. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for frozen corn (approximately 40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026, at $0.498 per pound historical reference pricing) and an ITB for assorted frozen vegetables including carrots, peas, broccoli, cauliflower, and stir-fry blend (approximately 400,000 pounds combined, due April 22, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables encompassing 210 line items including frozen specialty foods for state hospitals and living centers (historical value $1.5 million annually, IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools (due April 27, 2026). Geographic concentration is strongest in Oregon, Georgia, and Texas, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania, Missouri, and across the Southeast. Pricing in recent frozen-vegetable solicitations ranges from $0.30 to $0.70 per pound depending on product type and case size, with firm fixed pricing and FOB destination delivery standard across most solicitations.
