UNSPSC 50465202: Canned or jarred alisa craig onions

The variety of onions known as alisa craig onions that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465202 Canned or jarred alisa craig onions is a Commodity code used by state and local governments to procure shelf-stable onion products in bulk for institutional food service operations, though recent activity under this specific code is minimal. The code sits within the broader family of preserved vegetables and appears in solicitations where school districts, state agencies, and corrections departments acquire canned or jarred vegetables as components of larger food-service contracts. When the code surfaces in procurement records, it typically represents one line item among hundreds in master grocery bids or supplemental food procurements serving cafeterias, correctional facilities, and state hospitals.

State and local buyers under this code include school districts (elementary through high school levels), state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and state-operated care facilities. The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, and Missouri, with school districts in Georgia and Missouri appearing most frequently in master food-service solicitations that incorporate preserved vegetable categories. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering canned goods for state supported living centers, the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato procurement (S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases), and multiple school nutrition master grocery bids from Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, all structured as IFBs with firm fixed pricing and delivery to central distribution or school sites. The code sees occasional standalone activity—notably Oregon's two separate canned-tomato solicitations in early 2026—but more commonly appears as a subordinate line item buried in comprehensive food-service contracts where canned onions or other jarred vegetables represent a fractional portion of total award value. Current market conditions favor vendors managing price stability across commodity vegetables and meeting stringent shelf-life, sodium, and USDA-grade specifications typical of institutional purchasing.
