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

UNSPSC 50462203 Canned or jarred ishikura bunching onions is a Commodity code describing preserved onion products that state and local governments procure as part of broader institutional food service operations. Recent state and local opportunities show this code applied to bulk food procurement for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services — agencies that source dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, vegetables, dairy, and consumable supplies in single solicitations. The code sits within a much larger purchasing category; the actual solicitations name it alongside canned tomatoes, shelf-stable vegetables, frozen proteins, and fresh produce rather than as a standalone item. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia). These jurisdictions solicit food service consumables on a regular, often annual cycle tied to fiscal-year transitions or contract renewals.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), spanning 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery within seven days; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for the Department of Community Services (due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for cafeteria food products across 382 line items (extended to May 4, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools issued IFB #26271 for food products across multiple categories for school nutrition (due June 15, 2026). These procurements typically require F.O.B. Destination pricing with delivery within 72 hours to 30 days, three to five verifiable references, and compliance with E-Verify, debarment certification, and in some cases Buy American Act provisions or state-level bidder preferences.
