UNSPSC 50475203: Canned or jarred organic boiling onions

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

UNSPSC 50475203 Canned or jarred organic boiling onions is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure shelf-stable preserved vegetable products for food service operations. Recent solicitation activity shows that this code is tagged to institutional food service buys, though the actual procurement scope spans substantially broader product categories—canned vegetables more generally, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and ancillary food service supplies—rather than organic boiling onions specifically. School districts and state institutional care facilities dominate the issuing-body mix; the code appears to be one marker among many in multi-line-item food service ITBs and RFPs that encompass dozens or hundreds of distinct SKUs.

School nutrition programs and state health and human services agencies solicited most recently under or alongside this code. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB in June 2026 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000016405) with a response date of June 19, 2026, and earlier an ITB for canned tomato paste in February 2026 (S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026, and a separate statewide supplemental-food IFB (HHS0016792V2) in May 2026 with a prior deadline of March 19, 2026 covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract in April 2026 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy issued an RFQ in June 2026 for quarterly weekly food orders (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) and a companion RFQ in February 2026 (26497DVAQUINCB51106, due February 24, 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with secondary representation in Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County) and additional school systems in Georgia (Burke County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County). The code carries low decision relevance for vendors focused on organic or specialty preserved vegetables—current procurement is dominated by commodity-scale food service distribution where specific line-item tagging often misaligns with actual product scope.
