UNSPSC 50455211: Frozen organic red baron onions

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

UNSPSC 50455211 Frozen organic red baron onions is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable and frozen produce items procured by state and local food service operations. While the code nominally targets a single product line, recent state and local solicitations under this code show that Georgia jurisdictions are actually purchasing broad baskets of food items for senior services, institutional meal programs, and school nutrition — including shelf-stable proteins, grains, condiments, dairy, fresh produce, and frozen vegetables alongside any frozen onion specifications. The work is driven by school districts, county social-services departments, and state purchasing offices coordinating meal service and nutrition compliance across multiple delivery sites. Issuing bodies include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Department of Community Services), the State of Georgia, and the Early County Board of Education, among others.

Georgia dominates the recent activity in this code, with three posted opportunities spanning May through October 2026. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 in October 2026 requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of food items (35 line items of shelf-stable products) for delivery to Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026, with quotes due October 19, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 response date, scope and pricing contained in a 12 MB attachment. The Early County Board of Education issued its FY27 Food Bid on May 11, 2026 requesting line-by-line bids for 300+ food items and 60 non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026 and contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. All three solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, USDA compliance, and firm pricing with transportation included in the bid.
