UNSPSC 50482300: Bunching onion purees

The type of vegetable known as bunching onions which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482300 Bunching onion purees is a Class code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not show material procurement activity. The code nominally names a single food product (bunching onion purees), yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for that item. Recent state and local food procurement under adjacent commodity codes—canned tomatoes, potatoes, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared food service items—shows steady activity across Texas state agencies, Georgia counties and school districts, and Oregon corrections facilities. However, no recent opportunity explicitly names bunching onion purees or reflects the narrow scope this code describes. The mismatch suggests either that bunching onion purees are procured under broader food-family or food-service codes rather than a dedicated commodity code, or that state and local demand for this item is too limited to generate standalone solicitations in the recent period.

The recent food procurement activity in the block centers on state health and human services facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitations for state supported living centers and state hospitals), school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, and Texas corrections facilities operated by the Department of Criminal Justice), and county government services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). Issuing bodies span state health agencies, state corrections departments, county purchasing offices, and independent school districts, with the strongest recent activity in Texas and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for food items to serve senior services (due October 19, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools' sealed bid for school nutrition food across five schools (due June 5, 2026). None of these solicitations name bunching onion purees as a line item; vendors pursuing state and local food contracts should monitor higher-tier family codes that encompass fresh produce and prepared vegetables rather than this narrow commodity code.
