UNSPSC 50445212: Frozen red onions

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

UNSPSC 50445212 Frozen red onions (Commodity) does not appear in any recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no posted opportunities specifically soliciting frozen red onions or onion products under this code.

Recent opportunities in the broader frozen vegetable space—including frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, and frozen assorted blends from Oregon Department of Corrections; Texas Department of Criminal Justice; Texas Health and Human Services Commission; state and local school districts across Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Virginia—focus on commodity staples and high-volume institutional food service. When school districts and correctional facilities solicit frozen vegetables, they typically bid mixed assortments, established commodity lines (carrots, peas, broccoli, green beans, mixed blends), or specialty potato products rather than single-item onion purchases. Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S2910000017451 (frozen corn, 40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026) and ITB S2910000016558 (assorted frozen vegetables including green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, stir fry blend, and peas—approximately 400,000 pounds total, due April 22, 2026), both emphasizing FOB destination pricing, FDA/USDA compliance, and state preference programs. Texas DHHS Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) and HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables statewide covering 210 line items of frozen, fresh, refrigerated, and dry foods (maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). School district activity—Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, Master Grocery K-12, due April 27, 2026), Bulloch County Schools (IFB #043025, due May 4, 2026), Burke County Schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026), Early County Schools (due June 8, 2026), and City Schools of Decatur (IFB, due May 15, 2026)—regularly procure frozen foods within broader grocery bundles rather than specialty produce items. Frozen red onions do not match the commodity profiles, volumes, or specification patterns reflected in posted opportunities and show no detectible market demand at the state and local level during the review period.
