UNSPSC 50475909: Canned or jarred organic red potato onions

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

UNSPSC 50475909 Canned or jarred organic red potato onions (Commodity) represents shelf-stable, packaged vegetable products state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show limited direct solicitation of this specific item—most activity involves broader canned-vegetable or consumable-foods packages where this commodity appears as one line item among dozens rather than as a standalone procurement focus. State and local buyers include health and human services agencies managing state-supported living centers, departments of corrections, county social services departments, and school nutrition programs. The work being solicited typically bundles canned or jarred vegetables with proteins, dairy, grains, and food-service supplies into comprehensive food-service contracts; individual canned-vegetable line items are priced per case or unit and delivered on F.O.B. Destination terms within days of order placement. Issuing bodies span state health departments, state correctional agencies, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and specialized state institutions, with no single repeat buyer dominating the code's current activity.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional activity in Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited consumable foods for state-supported living centers multiple times in 2026, including IFB HHS0017872 (posted August 11, 2026, bids due August 25) and IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, bids due October 23), both bundling canned vegetables among 20 line items of foods and food-service supplies.
