UNSPSC 50455210: Frozen organic pearl onions

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

UNSPSC 50455210 Frozen organic pearl onions, a Commodity code, encompasses procurement of specialized frozen vegetable products for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy bulk quantities of prepared and frozen vegetable items as part of larger food-service contracts that include shelf-stable staples, proteins, dairy, and fresh or frozen produce. Issuing bodies include county governments (purchasing offices and departments of community services), state agencies (food procurement divisions), and independent school districts (boards of education). The work involves meeting USDA compliance standards where applicable, particularly for school lunch and breakfast programs; maintaining temperature and stock-rotation requirements; and delivering products to designated institutional locations within specified service windows.

Activity under this code concentrates in Georgia, with recent solicitations from Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (IWQ 140229 Purchase of Food Items, IWQ with quote deadline October 19, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables), the State of Georgia (PE55645NONST2026000000009 Food, supplies, and other kitchen products, ITB with bid deadline June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education (PE55045NONST2027000000006 FY27 Food Bid, line-by-line bid for 300+ food items and dairy supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026). School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; contracts typically run July through June with firm pricing for 15 days from award and escalation considerations tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks.
