UNSPSC 50452203: Frozen organic ishikura bunching onions

The variety of organic bunching onions known as organic ishikura bunching onions that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50452203 Frozen organic ishikura bunching onions is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to that specific product. The recent opportunities recorded under the code actually involve broader food procurement — shelf-stable pantry staples, school lunch program ingredients, and institutional kitchen supplies — rather than frozen specialty onions. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited approximately 1,062 cases of mixed food items including peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables for senior services; Early County Board of Education sought line-by-line bids for 300+ food items (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains) to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; and the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products procurement. Issuing bodies include county governments, school districts, and state agencies, each pursuing institutional food service contracts with emphasis on volume purchasing, domestic sourcing where required, and compliance with federal nutrition and food-safety standards.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an IWQ (informal written quote) with a response deadline of October 19, 2026, requiring delivery to a senior services center by December 7, 2026 with F.O.B. Destination terms and 72-hour turnaround when possible. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, covering the July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract period with pricing held firm for 15 days post-award and six-month escalation reviews thereafter, award anticipated approximately 60 days after bid opening. The State of Georgia posted a broader food and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 due date. School districts emphasize whole-grain bread meeting USDA 2024 standards, low-sodium formulations, products without added sugars or artificial additives, fluid milk with strict temperature and rotation protocols, and Buy American compliance; general liability insurance minimums of $500,000 are commonly required. The code shows limited recent activity specific to frozen organic ishikura bunching onions; opportunities recorded under it represent institutional food sourcing at larger volume and price points than specialty produce typically commands.
