UNSPSC 50472209: Canned or jarred organic white lisbon bunching onions

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

UNSPSC 50472209 Canned or jarred organic white lisbon bunching onions is a Commodity code representing fresh and processed produce items that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, institutional cafeterias, school nutrition programs, and state hospital and correctional facility canteens. State and local solicitations under this code rarely specify organic or varietal-specific requirements; instead, institutions typically source canned vegetables—including tomatoes, beans, corn, and mixed vegetables—as part of broader food service procurement lots that bundle proteins, dairy, dry goods, and supplies. Recent opportunities show that issuing bodies treat commodity vegetables as one line item among dozens in comprehensive institutional food bids rather than as standalone acquisitions. The mix of issuing bodies includes state health and human services agencies managing state supported living centers and state hospitals, state correctional departments, county nutrition programs, city and county school districts, and special-purpose state boards. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts (including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools), and Gwinnett County in Georgia appear repeatedly in recent solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables and food products serving state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide, including HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, IFB, due October 23, 2026), HHS0017872 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, IFB, due August 25, 2026), and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB, due July 13, 2026), each encompassing 20 to 210 line items with canned and frozen food products. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (due May 4, 2026, extended to that date via addendum), spanning approximately 382 line items. Oregon Department of Corrections posted S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (IFB, due June 19, 2026). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools (Food Bid IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (School Nutrition Food Bid, due June 5, 2026)—and Gwinnett County (Food Items IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) each solicited comprehensive food procurement across dozens of line items. All solicitations require FOB Destination delivery, firm pricing on a unit basis, compliance with USDA standards, and vendor qualifications including liability insurance, references, and debarment certification. Delivery windows range from same-day to 72 hours, with most institutional buyers placing recurring weekly or monthly orders on firm-price contracts with renewal options and annual or quarterly escalation clauses tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks.
