UNSPSC 50482305: Red beard bunching onion purees

The variety of bunching onions known as red beard bunching onions which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50482305 Red beard bunching onion purees, a Commodity code, sees state and local governments actually procuring broad food-service supply categories—produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, condiments, and consumable kitchen supplies—rather than the narrow onion-puree product the code nominally names. Recent solicitations under this code span school districts, state agencies managing correctional facilities and health services, and state departments, with school nutrition programs emerging as the dominant buyer type across multiple states.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Muscogee County School District (Georgia). State agencies also solicit frequently—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, and State of Georgia. Recent representative opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for grocery supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with weekly service; Texas Health and Human Services Commission food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) with historical value of $1.5 million; Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomatoes procurement (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases; Ben Hill County Schools food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) covering fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and condiments across four school locations; and Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery items (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items. Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. School nutrition contracts typically specify weekly delivery, firm fixed pricing for initial terms with adjustments tied to USDA indices or Consumer Price Index, Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2,000,000, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders. State corrections and health-services procurements follow similar patterns but often support larger institutional volumes—Texas HHSC supplemental food contracts cite maximum values up to $4.5 million over three years, and Douglas County School System food supply and distribution shows estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000.
