UNSPSC 50630301: Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped onion

Non-GMO sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped onions imported into the United States.

UNSPSC 50630301 Sliced, diced, peeled, or chopped onion is a Commodity code covering processed fresh onion products that state and local governments source primarily for school nutrition programs, child care operations, and institutional food service across multiple districts and agencies. Recent opportunities show onions appearing as line items within larger fresh produce procurements—notably in Bryan County Schools' sealed bid for school year 2026-2027, where onions account for approximately 790+ cases of the total produce order, and in the Douglas County School System's cooperative buying RFP for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending around $5.5 million combined. The work being solicited is delivery of ready-to-eat or ready-to-cut onion products, pre-packaged and labeled with delivery and best-by dates, meeting USDA and state food safety standards including HACCP compliance, with vendors required to maintain cold-chain logistics and demonstrate traceability by farm of origin upon request.

School nutrition programs and child care organizations dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas. Notable repeat buyers include Bryan County Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, Douglas County School System (managing a 30-district cooperative), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which has issued multiple commodity-specific bids for potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots alongside onion line items across its institutional food service network. Recent opportunities span sealed bids and RFPs with response dates concentrated between late April and early June 2026; the Georgia school systems and cooperative procurements emphasize locally sourced produce within 200-400 miles and pricing benchmarked to USDA terminal market reports, while TDCJ and larger multi-district cooperatives accept broader geographic sourcing with firm unit pricing and NET 30 payment terms. The Bryan County Schools procurement (due May 27, 2026) and Douglas County cooperative RFP (due March 4, 2026) exemplify current activity where onions are embedded within comprehensive produce line-item bidding structures requiring unit pricing, compliance certifications, insurance coverage of $500,000–$2,000,000 general liability, and delivery to multiple school sites on fixed weekly schedules Monday through Friday between designated morning hours.
