UNSPSC 50472201: Canned or jarred organic beltsville bunching onions

The variety of organic bunching onions known as organic beltsville bunching onions that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50472201 Canned or jarred organic beltsville bunching onions is a Commodity code describing preserved vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations — primarily state agencies running health and human services facilities, school districts, and correctional institutions. The code captures shelf-stable canned or jarred vegetables destined for cafeteria, canteen, and dining operations at state hospitals, supported living centers, schools, and detention facilities. State and local issuing bodies using this code span state health and human services commissions, departments of corrections, county boards of education, independent school districts, and county government agencies managing senior services and community programs. Recent activity shows repeat procurement by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission across multiple state-supported living centers and the Oregon Department of Corrections, both soliciting comprehensive consumables packages that include canned vegetables as line items within larger food service contracts rather than standalone bunching-onion purchases.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. Texas dominates the space through HHS0018082 (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, IFB with response due October 23, 2026), HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumable products, IFB with response due July 13, 2026), and HHS0016792V2 (statewide supplemental food and consumables, IFB for state hospitals and supported living centers with response due March 19, 2026). Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, bids due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026) bid large food portfolios serving multiple schools. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, bids due June 19, 2026, 7,616 cases) under 5 percent Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences. The code shows no recent standalone bunching-onion solicitations; the commodity appears only within multi-line food service aggregations where canned vegetables are grouped with proteins, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies as part of institutional dining programs.
