The variety of bunching onions known as kyoto market bunching onions which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482304 Kyoto market bunching onion purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific agricultural product, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that narrow scope. Recent solicitations tagged to this code instead reflect broad food procurement for institutional dining and food service — including canned tomatoes, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and consumable food-service supplies across schools, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and correctional facilities. The code appears to function as a catch-all for general food-product purchasing rather than a specialized ingredient category. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County in Georgia, Burke County in Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and other state-supported facilities. Texas agencies dominate the recent activity, with multiple solicitations from HHSC for state supported living centers and supplemental food programs; Georgia and Oregon also show repeated procurement activity in this category.

Recent opportunities span IFB, RFQ, and informal written quote (IWQ) notice types with response dates throughout the year. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 13, 2026 response deadline, followed by IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center due October 23, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections requested bids for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, under IFB S2910000017145 with a prior purchase reference of $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, with delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Ben Hill County Schools solicited food products across multiple categories with bids due June 15, 2026, and Burke County Public Schools sought a comprehensive school nutrition procurement due June 5, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with broader state and local purchasing activity evident across the institutional food-service sector. Qualification requirements typically include three verifiable references, demonstration of years in business and staffing capacity, compliance with E-Verify and debarment certifications, and HACCP or food-safety plan documentation where applicable. Delivery terms are commonly FOB Destination with freight prepaid, and response submission occurs via in-person delivery, email, or electronic procurement platforms (HHS Online Bid Room, OREGONBUYS, or county-specific systems).
