UNSPSC 50462208: Canned or jarred tokyo bunching onions

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

UNSPSC 50462208 Canned or jarred Tokyo bunching onions is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products that state and local governments procure as part of larger food-service operations. Recent opportunities show this code is tagged to institutional food-supply solicitations rather than narrow single-product purchases; the work actually being bought spans hundreds of line items across fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared foods for state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county human services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple customer agencies. The code reflects institutional bulk purchasing where canned vegetables sit alongside proteins, dairy, frozen items, condiments, and food-service supplies in comprehensive line-item solicitations.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Georgia, with additional recent solicitations from Oregon and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods serving state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, with response dates in June and October 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products through the State Comptroller in May 2026 with a May 4, 2026 response deadline. Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County, Burke County) and Gwinnett County posted food bids in May and June 2026 spanning hundreds of line items with response dates in June 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato solicitation (7,616 cases) with a June 19, 2026 due date, and the State of Illinois and an unspecified Oregon agency posted weekly and quarterly food-order solicitations in June and July 2026. Contract values range from the Texas HHSC El Paso facility estimate of $1.5 million for the prior period to a maximum potential of $4.5 million over three years for the statewide HHSC supplemental food contract; school and county solicitations typically do not disclose budget figures in posted summaries but encompass substantial annual nutrition procurement.
