UNSPSC 50455216: Frozen organic stuttgarter giant onions

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

UNSPSC 50455216 Frozen organic stuttgarter giant onions is a Commodity code that sees active procurement by state and local government, though recent opportunities show that the code captures a much broader food-supply procurement activity than the specific product name suggests. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code are purchasing shelf-stable and refrigerated food products for institutional food service — including canned proteins, vegetables, dairy, meats, poultry, and fresh produce — rather than frozen onions specifically. The mix of issuing bodies includes county purchasing departments, state agencies, and independent school districts procuring for senior services, statewide operations, and child nutrition programs. Quantities range from hundreds of cases for county departments to hundreds of line items across school food service networks, with delivery windows typically tight and destination-specific.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, canned vegetables) with an IWQ RFQ due October 19, 2026 for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026; the State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026) with scope details in an attached PDF; and the Early County Board of Education issued line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items plus 60 non-food and paper supplies for school breakfast and lunch programs across three schools (IFB due June 8, 2026, contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). Early County's solicitation emphasized domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, Buy American compliance, and HACCP documentation. Award decisions across these opportunities prioritize lowest responsive and responsible bidder pricing evaluated per unit of measure, with delivery compliance and food safety certification driving vendor selection.
