UNSPSC 50445208: Frozen kelsae onions

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

UNSPSC 50445208 Frozen kelsae onions (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code name references a specific frozen onion variety, but the source opportunities show no recent solicitations matching this commodity. Instead, state and local buyers are actively procuring frozen vegetables under related codes — frozen corn, frozen assorted vegetables, and frozen mixed vegetables — primarily through institutional food service channels including corrections departments, school districts, and health and human services agencies.

The mismatch between the nominal code scope and recent activity suggests either that frozen kelsae onions are not currently in demand among state and local purchasers, or that such procurements are being tagged to broader frozen-vegetable codes. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for this specific onion variety. School districts (Decatur, Bulloch County, Burke County, Fairfax County, Douglas County), state corrections departments (Oregon, Texas), state health agencies (Texas HHSC), and county facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania) are bidding frozen vegetables in bulk — 40,000-pound truckloads of corn, assorted blends, carrots, and mixed-vegetable assortments — but none reference kelsae or other specific onion varieties by name. Procurement is concentrated in school nutrition programs serving the 2026-2027 contract year (July 2026 start) and institutional food service for correctional and state-supported living facilities, with Oregon and Texas showing the heaviest recent activity. If pursuing this code, focus on broadening positioning to cover all frozen-vegetable commodity opportunities within institutional and school food service channels rather than the narrow kelsae-specific niche.
