UNSPSC 50455203: Frozen organic boiling onions

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

UNSPSC 50455203 Frozen organic boiling onions, a Commodity code, names a narrow product category that state and local governments rarely solicit directly by name. State and local procurement under this code predominantly occurs as part of broader school nutrition program food-service contracts that bundle frozen vegetables, including frozen onions and other produce, with staple proteins, grains, dairy, and non-food supplies. Recent solicitations frame frozen onions as one line item within comprehensive fresh and frozen produce bids or as part of generic frozen-foods and grocery procurements that serve National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations across multiple school sites. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies under this code, though state departments and independent food-service authorities occasionally solicit frozen-produce items as standalone or bundled commodities for institutional feeding operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) issued a sealed-bid IFB for fresh produce including bulk vegetables and fruits due April 23, 2026, serving 60 schools; the City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with sealed bids due May 15, 2026, requiring HACCP plans and 24/7 recall accessibility; and the Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line food bids encompassing vegetables and low-sodium formulations due June 8, 2026. The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri's St. Louis County posted a bid for over 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026, and the Douglas County School System in Georgia issued an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two geographic areas, with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026, and estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million. All school-district bids emphasize firm pricing, Buy American compliance, HACCP and food-safety requirements, domestic sourcing preferences where available, and delivery to multiple school sites during defined operating hours. No response deadlines remain open as of July 20, 2026.
