UNSPSC 50465219: Canned or jarred red storage onions

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

UNSPSC 50465219 Canned or jarred red storage onions is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned or jarred onion products supplied to state and local food service operations, primarily institutional cafeterias, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. State and local governments procure this commodity as a line item within broader food-service contracts that supply consumable products to residential facilities, correctional institutions, and educational kitchens. The code appears in mixed-item food solicitations where onions are one of dozens of canned vegetables or condiments specified alongside proteins, grains, dairy, and supplies rather than as standalone single-commodity awards. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (particularly Texas), state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, county school districts, and state facility procurement offices. Repeat solicitations from Texas Health and Human Services Commission for consumables serving state-supported living centers show ongoing institutional demand.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Oct 23, 2026 response deadline) for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, which specified 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies with delivery within seven days; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (Oct 19, 2026 response deadline) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomatoes bid S2910000017145 (Jun 19, 2026, now closed) for 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case from the prior February 2026 purchase. School nutrition programs in Ben Hill County and Burke County, Georgia also solicited multi-category food bids in May and June 2026 that included canned vegetables. Delivery terms typically run F.O.B. Destination with shipments required within 72 hours to 30 days of order, and pricing is evaluated on a per-unit or per-case basis. Canned onions do not surface as a named line item in the available summaries but would fall within the broader canned-vegetable categories that state and local institutions regularly source on 12-month or quarterly contracts.
