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 is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for red beard bunching onion purees or closely related fresh or processed onion products. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food and consumable procurement—prepared and frozen entrees, fresh and canned vegetables, dairy products, proteins, dry goods, paper and food service supplies, and kitchen equipment—issued by state health and human services agencies, county and school district nutrition programs, and state corrections departments. The code appears to show little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's specific name and the general food categories actually being solicited suggests either miscoding in state and local procurement systems or an administrative artifact.

The issuing bodies soliciting under the broader food-procurement activity include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state supported living centers), school districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (senior services), the State of Illinois (institutional food services), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), and the State of Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Texas (state health and human services, corrections, and school districts), Georgia (counties and school districts), and Oregon (corrections), with additional recent solicitations in Illinois.
