UNSPSC 50475220: Canned or jarred organic white storage onions

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

UNSPSC 50475220 Canned or jarred organic white storage onions is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable vegetable products that state and local governments purchase as part of broader food-service procurement for institutional canteens, cafeterias, state facilities, and school nutrition programs. The code sees application across food supply contracts for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and senior-services operations, where canned or jarred onions appear as line items within larger consumables bids rather than as standalone acquisitions. Recent solicitations show that these products are typically procured alongside dozens or hundreds of other prepared foods, proteins, frozen items, condiments, canned vegetables, and food-service supplies under a single IFB or RFQ, with vendors required to respond to a minimum percentage of all specified line items and meet USDA grade, sodium, shelf-life, and labeling standards. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state correctional departments, school districts, and county governments; Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers in recent postings. Texas state facilities dominate the recent activity, with additional procurement from Georgia school districts, Gwinnett County, and Illinois state agencies.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the operational context. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (due October 23) for consumables foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, a 22-line-item food and food-service supplies solicitation with annual deliveries measured in 1 to 24 cases per item and seven-day delivery requirements on F.O.B. Destination terms. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes on June 5, 2026 (due June 19), with 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders, USDA Grade B or better standards, and delivery to a central distribution center. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia posted an IFB on May 19, 2026 (due June 15) for comprehensive school nutrition procurement across four schools spanning hundreds of line items with Buy American Act compliance required and deliveries to individual school locations. Canned or jarred onions do not appear explicitly in any of the accessible summaries; the code shows little direct recent activity in the available opportunities block.
