UNSPSC 50462202: Canned or jarred feast bunching onions

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

UNSPSC 50462202 Canned or jarred feast bunching onions is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of preserved vegetable products for institutional food service, though recent solicitations tagged under this code show minimal direct activity for the specific commodity and instead reflect broader food-service purchasing for school districts, correctional facilities, and state health agencies. State and local governments buying under related preserved-produce categories acquire canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and other shelf-stable vegetables alongside broader grocery procurement for cafeterias, correctional kitchens, and residential care facilities. The issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county-level nutrition programs (Muscogee County School District, Ben Hill County Schools). School nutrition programs and state institutional food service dominate the mix, with recurring solicitations from Texas HHSC and Oregon ODOC for multi-case quantities of canned and preserved products.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases due June 19, 2026, and 7,616 cases due February 9, 2026, both at $13.75 to $14.30 per case) and tomato paste (approximately 1,904 cases due March 9, 2026). Texas Health and Human Services Commission released IFBs for supplemental food and consumables including canned goods, with one procurement (HHS0017449) valued at $1.5 million for the prior contract period and proposals due July 13, 2026 for El Paso State Supported Living Center and statewide state hospitals and supported living centers. School districts across Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Burke County Public Schools) solicited comprehensive food procurement covering canned vegetables, fruits, and condiments as line items within larger grocery bids due April through June 2026, with contract values ranging from several hundred thousand to millions of dollars annually. Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued RFQs and IFBs for weekly or annual food supply including canned and preserved items. No recent solicitation explicitly names canned or jarred bunching onions as a standalone line item; the commodity appears embedded within broader preserved-vegetable or general grocery categories in institutional food-service contracts where pricing is typically firm and fixed for 12 months with limited mid-contract adjustment provisions tied to USDA market indices or Consumer Price Index movement.
