UNSPSC 50465205: Canned or jarred bulb onions

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

UNSPSC 50465205 Canned or jarred bulb onions is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable preserved onion products state and local governments buy for institutional food service operations—specifically for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. Recent solicitations show this code is used alongside broader food-product aggregations rather than as a standalone procurement; state and local buyers typically source canned onions as line items within larger consumables bids covering dozens or hundreds of food products for cafeterias, canteens, kitchen operations, and food-service supply chains. The issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state departments of criminal justice (Texas TDCJ), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia). Most recent activity comes from Texas state agencies and Georgia counties and school districts.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities centers on Texas and Georgia, with activity also in Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), which lists 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with estimated annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item and delivery within seven days of order; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables (due October 19, 2026) for delivery to the Senior Services Center; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), which shows a prior purchase at $13.75 per case.
