UNSPSC 50482308: Tokyo bunching onion purees

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

UNSPSC 50482308 Tokyo bunching onion purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local food procurement activity recently posted. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve broad-based consumables food procurement — shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and food service supplies — for institutional food service operations including state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, county senior services, and school districts. The mix of issuing bodies spans state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Georgia), state correctional departments (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia), and the Illinois state government. No vendor is named as a repeat buyer across multiple recent solicitations, though Texas HHSC appears three times with separate IFBs for different state-supported living centers and supplemental food contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (prepared items and food service supplies) at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, vegetables) due October 19, 2026 with delivery to a senior services center; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing bids for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case; and Ben Hill County Schools issuing IFB #26271 for comprehensive grocery procurement spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and kitchen supplies across four school locations with bids due June 15, 2026. The code shows a mismatch with its nominal scope — recent opportunities center on institutional food service contracting rather than Tokyo bunching onion purees specifically.
