UNSPSC 50475200: Canned or jarred organic onions

The type of organic vegetable known as organic onions that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50475200 Canned or jarred organic onions, a Class code, is not prominently represented in recent state and local procurement activity. The opportunities tagged with this code actually span a much broader set of food-service provisioning — canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, supplemental food and consumables, and comprehensive grocery and meal-service supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, and state health and human services agencies. The code's nominal scope (organic onions specifically) diverges sharply from what is actually being solicited; recent opportunities instead reflect demand for commodity food products and food-service distribution across a wide spectrum of categories and price points, with only occasional line-item references to canned vegetables including onions within much larger, multi-category food procurement efforts.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing opportunities tagged to this code span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections; Texas Department of Criminal Justice; Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state veterans' facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, with multiple school districts; Texas, with state agencies), Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Upper Midwest (Missouri and Illinois), with school-district nutrition programs driving the majority of recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026); Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million); and Rockwood R-VI School District's dual procurement for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products (both due April 29, 2026). Most opportunities are IFBs or RFPs with firm-fixed or escalation-based pricing tied to USDA market indices, Buy American compliance mandates, and contract terms of one to five years with renewal options. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or women-owned businesses are specified across the recent postings.
