UNSPSC 50475208: Canned or jarred organic kelsae onions

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

UNSPSC 50475208 Canned or jarred organic kelsae onions is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local government procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables, including canned tomatoes, potatoes, and other preserved produce items, for institutional food service operations. The code sees use primarily by state health and human services agencies, county and municipal governments, school districts, and correctional departments that source bulk quantities of shelf-stable food products for cafeterias, canteens, dining facilities, and food service supply chains. These buyers tend to consolidate food procurement into comprehensive multi-line-item IFBs covering dozens or hundreds of products rather than single-commodity solicitations; the code itself appears underutilized as a standalone category, with recent opportunities tagged to it representing broader canned-vegetable and general consumable-foods acquisitions.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0016792v2 in May 2026 for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, a 210-line-item procurement with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years and a March 19, 2026 response deadline; the agency also posted IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (prior period value $1.5 million, July 13, 2026 deadline) and a second IFB in October 2026 for consumables at Lufkin (October 23, 2026 deadline). The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 with a June 19, 2026 deadline, offering Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent; the prior purchase in February 2026 was $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Georgia school districts including Burke County Public Schools and Ben Hill County Schools issued food-bid IFBs in May and June 2026 covering several hundred line items across fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable categories for July 2026 through June 2027 school-year supply. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a October 19, 2026 deadline. All solicitations enforce delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order receipt, F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight included, and compliance with federal food-safety standards, E-Verify, and debarment certification.
