UNSPSC 50462201: Canned or jarred beltsville bunching onions

The variety of bunching onions known as beltsville bunching onions that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50462201 Canned or jarred beltsville bunching onions is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within the broader fresh and processed produce market. Recent state and local solicitations under this code are sparse; the opportunities recorded show food and consumable purchasing by state departments, county governments, school districts, and state-supported living facilities, but the specific product — beltsville bunching onions, canned or jarred — appears as a line item within broader food-service procurements rather than as a standalone solicitation focus. The kind of work solicited under the code reflects institutional food-service operations: canteens, cafeterias, nutrition programs, and food-service supply chains for detention facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers typically buy bunched onions as ingredients or condiment components alongside proteins, vegetables, grains, and consumable supplies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), and independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). The mix skews toward institutional food service rather than retail or commercial food manufacturing.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the South and Southwest, with documented solicitations from Texas (multiple state-supported living centers and state hospitals), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, State of Georgia), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). The most recent representative solicitation is IFB HHS0018082 issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission on October 16, 2026, for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, with bids due October 23, 2026; that procurement covers 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 24 cases per item. A second recent example is IWQ 140229 issued by Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners on October 13, 2026, requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, vegetables, and condiments, with quotes due October 19, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017145 on June 5, 2026, for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (related preserved-vegetable category), demonstrating sustained demand for canned-produce procurement in the region. Overall activity under the code is modest and embedded within large institutional food-service contracts rather than appearing as a dedicated commodity focus.
