UNSPSC 50466862: Canned or jarred tree onion

The type of vegetable known as tree onion that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466862 Canned or jarred tree onion, a Commodity code, represents a narrow food product category that state and local governments source primarily as part of broader food procurement initiatives for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show that canned tree onions (including canned onion products) are typically bundled within larger food supply contracts rather than procured as standalone items, with purchasing bodies treating them as line items within comprehensive food and consumable procurement efforts for cafeterias, state-supported living centers, correctional institutions, and school districts.

Recent opportunities under this code concentrate in the Southeast and upper Midwest, driven by school district nutrition programs and state institutional food service operations. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood School District in Missouri, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, and Muscogee County Schools in Georgia have all recently issued IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs for food products that include canned vegetables and related items. Repeat buyers include multiple school nutrition programs across Georgia seeking food supplies for the 2026-2027 school year, with responses due between late April and early June 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement HHS0017449 for HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) and the broader HHS0016792 supplemental food and consumables contract for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide illustrate the institutional demand driver. School districts dominate recent activity, with contracts typically running twelve months from July 2026 through June 2027, emphasizing Buy American compliance, USDA nutritional standards, and firm fixed pricing for the initial contract period with limited midterm adjustment mechanisms tied to manufacturer price increases or published commodity indices.
