UNSPSC 50465207: Canned or jarred express yellow o-x onions

The variety of onions known as express yellow o-x onions that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465207 Canned or jarred express yellow o-x onions, a Commodity code, covers canned and jarred onion products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies purchasing canned onions as line items within broader food-service RFPs and IFBs that span produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods. The code sees activity from school districts, state departments of corrections, and health and human services agencies sourcing these products for cafeteria meal preparation, with canned onions typically bundled into larger weekly or quarterly food orders rather than procured in isolation. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and institutional food-service programs tied to state hospitals and supported living centers.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with notable procurement volume in Georgia school districts and Texas state agencies. Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' FY-27 IVHQ Quarterly Weekly Food Order (RFQ, due June 26, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Supplemental Food & Consumables procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with prior historical spend of $1.5 million for the September 2025–August 2026 period). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued canned tomato procurement (S2910000017145, IFB, due June 19, 2026 for approximately 7,616 cases at approximately $13.75 per case). School nutrition programs dominate the customer base, with Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) and multiple Georgia school districts issuing multi-hundred line-item food bids that include canned vegetables. Pricing in recent canned vegetable procurements reflects commodity market rates tied to USDA standards, with Buy American requirements common across school district and state agency solicitations and delivery typically FOB destination with firm pricing for 12 months or longer contract terms.
