UNSPSC 50465215: Canned or jarred sturon onions

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

UNSPSC 50465215 Canned or jarred sturgeon onions is a Commodity code that covers preserved onion products, though state and local procurement activity under this code reflects a much broader food-service consumables market. Recent solicitations show that agencies are buying shelf-stable canned vegetables including onions as part of comprehensive food-service supply contracts for correctional facilities, state supported living centers, county nutrition programs, and school districts. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, state corrections agencies, county boards of commissioners, and independent school districts, with Texas and Georgia showing the strongest recent activity. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple procurements for consumable foods and food products serving state supported living centers and state hospitals; Oregon Department of Corrections and Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia round out the recent buyer base.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 posted October 16, 2026, soliciting consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with delivery within seven days of order; the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (similar shelf-stable vegetable inventory) with preference for Oregon-fabricated goods; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 posted May 19, 2026, requesting sealed bids for comprehensive food products across multiple categories including canned fruits and vegetables, due June 15, 2026, with the Buy American Act applying and deliveries to four school sites. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in May 2026 for cafeteria food products covering approximately 382 line items with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points. Procurement notice types are predominantly IFB and RFQ with response dates typically five to fourteen days from posting.
