UNSPSC 50455219: Frozen organic red storage onions

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

UNSPSC 50455219 Frozen organic red storage onions is a Commodity code representing a narrowly defined product line within state and local food procurement. Recent solicitations reveal the code sees minimal direct activity; instead, state and local governments procure frozen organic onions as line items within broader food-service supply contracts that aggregate vegetables, proteins, grains, dairy, and prepared items under unified IFB and RFP structures. School districts and state agencies buying for child nutrition programs and food services issue these consolidated solicitations, typically bundling dozens or hundreds of food products into single awards rather than targeting frozen organic onions as standalone commodities. The issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System) and state government nutrition agencies (State of Georgia food and produce procurement). Frozen organic red storage onions, when present in scope, appear as one ingredient among many in prepared foods, vegetable mixes, or as a bulk commodity in larger frozen-food and grocery categories rather than as a discrete purchase line.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and Missouri, with Georgia showing the heaviest concentration across multiple school districts and state-level solicitations (Decatur, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, State of Georgia fresh-produce and frozen-foods IFBs), and Missouri represented by Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County. Recent representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items across meats, vegetables, fruits, grains, and dairy for school breakfast and lunch programs; City Schools of Decatur's Frozen Foods and Grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026) for the 2026–2027 school year requiring HACCP compliance and Buy American adherence across ten school sites; Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items procurement (electronic IFB via NUTRIKIDS, due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items with firm pricing for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; and Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (due February 18, 2026) seeking a main-line distributor serving 32 schools and approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million. The code itself carries low standalone transaction volume and is best pursued as a line-item opportunity within broader school-nutrition and state-food-service consolidations rather than as an independent commodity.
