UNSPSC 50445220: Frozen white storage onions

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

UNSPSC 50445220 Frozen white storage onions, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source material. The opportunities posted under this code taxonomy span frozen vegetables broadly—including corn, assorted blends, carrots, mixed vegetables, and potatoes—but contain no solicitations specifically for frozen white storage onions. State and local buying under related frozen-vegetable codes reflects institutional food service demand: correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (early county schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Dallas ISD in Missouri and Texas), state health and human services entities (Texas HHSC, New Jersey DSS), and county governments (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania). Solicitations typically specify product grades, shelf-life minimums (six months to one year), FDA/USDA compliance, temperature maintenance in transport, and per-pound or per-case pricing on FOB-destination terms, often with state or regional preferences built in.

The issuing-body mix reflects a state and county concentration in food service procurement: Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas agencies (TDCJ, HHSC, TxDOT, TEA) dominate the recent postings, alongside Georgia school districts (Early County, Burke County, Bulloch County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham), Missouri school districts (Rockwood, Dallas ISD in Texas), and county correctional and school-service facilities across Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Connecticut. Geographic activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Texas, Georgia, and the Mid-Atlantic. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for frozen corn and assorted vegetables (July 2026, ITB S2910000017451 and S2910000017439, due July 24, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0016792, due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years). The code shows active procurement volume but no recent solicitations specific to frozen white storage onions; vendors pursuing this commodity should monitor Oregon DOC, Texas HHSC, and school district nutrition programs for related frozen-vegetable bids where white onion varieties may be specified as a component.
