UNSPSC 50630101: Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped onion

Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped onion imported into the united states.

UNSPSC 50630101 Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped onion is a Commodity code that describes processed onion products state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show district-level demand for both fresh whole onions (often in bulk for central processing) and pre-cut onion varieties in institutional pack sizes, delivered ready-for-service as components of comprehensive produce and grocery procurement contracts. The code captures onion sourcing across school districts, criminal justice agencies, and child nutrition programs that operate institutional kitchens or partner with food service vendors who handle the slicing, dicing, peeling, or chopping in-house or at centralized distribution points.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education spanning Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Florida, and Connecticut, with secondary procurement from state criminal justice departments and child nutrition nonprofits. State agencies including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia state procurement offices issue competitive bids for institutional produce, often as line items within broader food and grocery contracts. School nutrition programs dominate the opportunity pipeline—Bryan County Schools (Georgia), Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) all posted solicitations in the past four months for fresh produce and grocery items that include onion varieties with estimated annual quantities ranging from 260 to 1,000+ cases. The code shows activity across spring and summer 2026, with sealed-bid and RFP timelines clustering around March through May. Representative recent opportunities include Bryan County School Nutrition Program (Georgia), which solicited sealed bids by May 27, 2026 for fresh produce including 790+ cases of onions for school-year supply; Dougherty County Board of Education, which requested bids by June 16, 2026 for 40 produce line items across 24 school nutrition sites; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which issued multiple IFBs for bulk vegetables including carrots and white potatoes for institutional canning and food service. Most school district procurements require weekly delivery to multiple school sites with F.O.B. Destination pricing, domestic sourcing preference, Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and general liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence.
