UNSPSC 50465909: Canned or jarred red potato onions

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

UNSPSC 50465909 Canned or jarred red potato onions is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure prepared vegetable products for institutional food service operations, particularly in corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The code captures canned and jarred vegetable products as line items within broader food supply solicitations; recent opportunities show these items embedded in multi-category food bids rather than solicited standalone, indicating they are components of consolidated institutional provisioning rather than specialized standalone purchases. Issuing bodies include state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state-supported living centers, school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and independent school nutrition programs. School districts represent the largest segment of recent issuing activity, with state corrections and health departments forming a secondary but steady procurement tier.

Recent opportunities span a geographic mix centered in the Southeast and Midwest. Texas appears most frequently in the source (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, HHSC statewide supplemental food procurement, TDCJ cafeteria food products), followed by Georgia (multiple school districts including Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Burke County Public Schools). Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple canned vegetable solicitations (tomato paste, canned tomatoes). Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia school districts round out documented activity. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017449) requesting food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 13, 2026 response deadline under IFB, the Oregon Department of Corrections (S2910000016089) procuring tomato paste with a March 9, 2026 deadline, Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323) seeking Master Grocery K-12 products with a response date of April 27, 2026, and Rockwood R-VI School District (Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items) issuing bids for over 900 grocery line items by April 29, 2026. Pricing in these solicitations typically includes FOB Destination with delivery charges prepaid, firm-fixed pricing for the contract term, and product compliance with USDA Grade B or better, FDA standards, and minimum 12-month shelf life requirements.
