UNSPSC 50472205: Canned or jarred organic red beard bunching onions

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

UNSPSC 50472205 Canned or jarred organic red beard bunching onions is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal activity specifically tied to organic canned or jarred bunching onions. The code appears in state and local procurement systems primarily as part of broader food-service solicitations for institutional feeding programs—correctional facilities, state mental health and developmental disability centers, school nutrition programs, and county senior services—where food is being procured in bulk under competitive bid. What state and local governments actually buy under this code sits within large, heterogeneous food-service contracts that span proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies, with individual line items for specific canned or jarred vegetables typically representing a small fraction of the total scope.

The issuing bodies soliciting under the code are predominantly Texas state health and human services agencies (the Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services), Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and specialty jurisdictions such as the Oregon Department of Corrections and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, posted June 11, 2026, with responses due July 13, 2026, covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated food products at an estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually; and Burke County Public Schools' sealed bid for comprehensive school nutrition food across five schools, posted May 11, 2026, with bids due June 5, 2026, encompassing nearly 400 line items with firm pricing for 30 days following award and six-month adjustment periods thereafter. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with isolated opportunities in Illinois. The code shows active state and local procurement volume but limited granular demand specifically for organic bunching onions as a stand-alone category; vendors pursuing this code should expect inclusion primarily as one line item within large food-service contracts serving institutional populations.
