UNSPSC 50475212: Canned or jarred organic red onions

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

UNSPSC 50475212 Canned or jarred organic red onions is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables procured by state and local institutions for food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code purchase canned onions as line items within larger consumable-food solicitations that supply state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent opportunities show onions appear as individual line items alongside other canned vegetables, proteins, condiments, and food service supplies within broader institutional food procurements rather than as standalone single-item contracts. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state departments of corrections. Texas leads in recent activity, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission conducting multiple fiscal-year renewals for consumable foods at state supported living centers; Georgia school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools) and Gwinnett County are also active buyers of canned vegetables for food service operations.

Recent solicitations show canned onions embedded in larger food-service contracts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; a prior Texas HHS procurement (HHS0017449, June 2026) referenced historical spend of $1.5 million for food and consumable products across multiple state facilities. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, June 2026), demonstrating regular demand for canned vegetables in correctional food service. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) solicited comprehensive school nutrition food products (May 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (Waynesboro, Georgia) sought grocery procurement across nearly 400 line items for five schools (May 2026), both including canned vegetables in their line-item rosters. Delivery typically occurs within seven to thirty days of order, pricing is requested on an F.O.B. Destination basis with freight prepaid, and bidders must supply verifiable references, compliance certifications, and emergency contacts. The code shows steady demand from institutional food-service buyers in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with solicitations posted throughout the year and response windows typically fifteen to thirty days.
