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 purchasing fresh onion products in processed form for institutional food service. State and local governments buy this through food service contracts for correctional facilities, supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and mental health facilities. The code captures processed onion products as line items within larger food procurement solicitations rather than as standalone purchases, with volumes typically measured in cases per fiscal year. Recent solicitations name onions across multiple formats—yellow or white onions in 50-pound bags, diced or sliced preparations, and green onions as fresh garnish—delivered to correctional food warehouses, state living centers, and school district central kitchens. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), school districts (Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Schools, Bryan County Schools, Madison Metropolitan School District), county governments (Collier County), and smaller regional or specialized procurement entities. Texas state agencies and Georgia school systems dominate recent activity, with Texas correctional and health-and-human-services facilities soliciting fresh produce regularly and Georgia school nutrition programs emphasizing local sourcing within 400 miles.

Recent solicitations show onions as a line item in multi-category food service RFQs and IFBs. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017872 (August 25, 2026) covering consumables and food service supplies across 20–22 line items including fresh and processed onion products; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh fruit-and-vegetable RFQs (IW267376 Palestine, due October 19, 2026; IW267420 Snyder Food Warehouse, due October 14, 2026; IW267411 Wynne Food Warehouse, due October 14, 2026) naming onions as part of bi-weekly produce delivery bundles. The Illinois Department of Corrections (Joliet Treatment Center, RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026) specified yellow or white onions in 50-pound bags as part of a small-business set-aside, with bi-weekly delivery and USDA fresh-firm standards. Georgia school districts including Bartow County (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026), Dougherty County (IFB 016-SNS-2027, due June 16, 2026), and Bryan County (sealed bid, due May 27, 2026) have solicited fresh onions in quantities ranging from 100+ to 790+ cases annually, sourced within 400 miles where required, for school lunch and breakfast programs. Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026) sought ready-to-eat fresh fruit and vegetable snacks including processed onion products sourced within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison, with 5,900 weekly servings for elementary students under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program.
