UNSPSC 50476862: Canned or jarred organic tree onion

The type of organic vegetable known as organic tree onion that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476862 Canned or jarred organic tree onion is a Commodity code capturing a narrow product line — canned or jarred onion products with organic certification — that sees minimal direct procurement activity under its specific taxonomy. State and local governments acquiring canned onion products typically solicit them as part of broader food procurement categories rather than as standalone line items, with the code appearing tangentially in multi-category food service RFQs and IFBs issued by institutional foodservice operations including school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies. The recent opportunities block shows no dedicated solicitation for canned organic onion, nor any opportunity explicitly naming this commodity; instead, canned onion appears as one line item within large-scale food supply RFPs and IFBs where dozens or hundreds of food products are bundled together under broader UNSPSC classes covering canned goods, produce, or general grocery supplies. This pattern suggests the code is too granular for typical state and local procurement practice — buyers consolidate canned vegetable and onion purchases into multi-item contracts managed at the Family or Class level rather than the Commodity level.

Geographic activity spans multiple states with school nutrition programs and institutional foodservice operations driving most visible procurement. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), Texas (HHSC statewide facilities), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Oregon (Department of Corrections) have posted IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive food supply contracts during the first half of 2026, and canned vegetables including onion are commonly specified within those scopes. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 and HHS0016792 procurements for state-supported living center food supply, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food bid (304T-26-300CF), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato and produce procurements all incorporate canned vegetable categories where organic canned onion might qualify as an alternative or equivalent product. However, no recent opportunity has solicited canned organic onion as a featured or line-item requirement, and the code shows no activity distinct from the broader canned-goods and general-grocery categories that state and local procurement offices routinely issue under higher-tier UNSPSC families.
