UNSPSC 50472208: Canned or jarred organic tokyo bunching onions

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

UNSPSC 50472208 Canned or jarred organic tokyo bunching onions is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products state and local governments purchase for institutional food service — canteen operations, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and senior services. The work being solicited shows that this code, despite its narrow nominal scope, sits within much broader institutional food procurement where state agencies, counties, school districts, and corrections departments solicit hundreds of line items spanning proteins, frozen goods, dairy, prepared foods, and consumables for campus dining, inmate feeding, and congregate meal programs. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and state nutrition programs. The solicitations are issued as IFBs and IWQs with response dates typically two to three weeks from posting, firm fixed pricing required, and delivery via FOB Destination within 7 to 72 hours of order receipt. Bidders must provide references for similar work, comply with USDA and FDA standards, maintain liability insurance, and certify E-Verify compliance and non-debarment status; larger awards may require debarment and lobbying certifications and HACCP plan documentation.

Recent activity under this code appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted three food service procurements between June and October 2026 for state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, with line-item counts ranging from 20 to 210 items and estimated historical values up to $4.5 million over three years; the most recent IFB for Lufkin (HHS0018082) closed October 23, 2026, and an earlier supplemental procurement (HHS0016792V2) was valued up to $4.5 million over three years. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued IWQ 140229 in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products due October 19, 2026, and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools in June 2026, Burke County Public Schools in May 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools posted food service RFBs with hundreds of line items and July-to-June fiscal-year contracts.
