UNSPSC 50485202: Alisa craig onion purees

The variety of onions known as alisa craig onions which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485202 Alisa craig onion purees — a Commodity code — covers specialized onion puree products for institutional food service operations. State and local procurement under this code clusters heavily around school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and veterans' homes that source pre-processed vegetables as components in prepared meal systems. The code sees activity from state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, school districts, and smaller multi-location institutional buyers seeking consistency, shelf stability, and reduced prep labor.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, with school districts representing the dominant issuing-body type. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) and the statewide HHSC food and consumables bid (HHS0016792, response extended to March 19, 2026) both encompassed 210+ line items of institutional food products including processed vegetables under NIGP classifications, with the latter carrying a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. School nutrition programs in Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), and Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) have issued recent grocery bids (April–June 2026 response windows) spanning hundreds of line items for K-12 meal assembly, though onion purees appear as minor components within broader produce or prepared-food categories rather than standalone focus items. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued separate bids for canned tomatoes (S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026) and tomato paste (S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026), establishing a pattern of state procurement for shelf-stable vegetable products in bulk quantities. Activity is consistent but not concentrated — no single jurisdiction dominates, and onion purees specifically are rarely the primary line item in posted solicitations, typically appearing as one specification among dozens within broader food-supply RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs.
