UNSPSC 50445909: Frozen red potato onions

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

UNSPSC 50445909 Frozen red potato onions is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this designation. The recent opportunities tagged with this code involve frozen corn, frozen potatoes (french fries, wedges, and tater tots), and broad grocery and food-service supply solicitations—not frozen red potato onions specifically. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting food products through ITB, IFB, and RFP notices include the Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple frozen vegetable procurements in July 2026), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education, school districts across Georgia (Burke County, Bulloch County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Montgomery County Pennsylvania, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri. Correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state health and human services agencies dominate the buyer base. Recent Oregon Department of Corrections solicitations posted in July 2026 include ITB S2910000017451 for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen corn at $0.498 per pound (due July 24, 2026) and ITB S2910000017439 for 120,000 pounds of frozen potato products (french fries, wedges, tater tots) at $0.3811 per pound from prior awards (due July 24, 2026). School districts across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic are active buyers of comprehensive frozen and grocery products for child nutrition programs, with solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, Master Grocery K-12, due April 27, 2026) and the Bridgeport Board of Education (BNB052266, over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products, due June 30, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Connecticut based on recent opportunity postings. The code shows active state and local purchasing of frozen vegetables and potato products, but the specific commodity name does not align with current solicitation patterns, which span broader frozen-food and grocery categories rather than frozen red potato onions as a standalone item.
