UNSPSC 50462209: Canned or jarred white lisbon bunching onions

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

UNSPSC 50462209 Canned or jarred white lisbon bunching onions is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable packaged vegetables procured by state and local governments for institutional food service, including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, county social services programs, and school nutrition operations. The code represents a narrow product line within the broader institutional food supply chain; recent solicitations show that state and local buyers are purchasing canned and jarred vegetables as line items within large omnibus food procurement efforts rather than as standalone specialty purchases. Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) facilities serving multiple state hospitals and supported living centers, county departments of community services, Georgia and Oregon state correctional and social service agencies, and school districts across multiple states. The work under this code involves responding to line-item food bids, often bundled with dozens or hundreds of other food and consumable products, with firm fixed pricing, USDA grade compliance, nutritional labeling, and delivery to central distribution points or multiple facility locations within specified timeframes.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas HHSC has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables at state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, with the largest procurement (HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026) encompassing 210 line items and a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, requiring minimum 95 percent line-item response and delivery within seven days of order. Gwinnett County, Georgia posted an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (due October 19, 2026) for senior services. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids across nearly 400 line items with weekly delivery requirements and six-month price adjustment provisions. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse regions (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Illinois have also posted food procurement notices. Canned vegetables typically appear as mid-tier line items in these solicitations with per-case pricing and case-quantity specifications, FOB Destination delivery terms, and compliance with FDA/USDA standards and shelf-life requirements of at least 12 months remaining at delivery.
