UNSPSC 50485204: Buffalo onion purees

The variety of onions known as buffalo onions which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485204 Buffalo onion purees is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable onion-based food ingredients and prepared products for institutional food service. State and local buyers under this code actually procure canned and processed onion products, onion purees, and onion-containing sauces and condiments for use in cafeteria and kitchen operations across state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and county senior services programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies, state corrections departments, school districts, and county nutrition programs, each managing large-scale food procurement for institutional populations. Representative recent solicitations show the code appearing within broader food-service line-item bids that encompass dozens or hundreds of food products rather than as standalone onion-puree contracts; vendors responding to these opportunities typically bid on multiple commodity lines simultaneously as part of comprehensive food-supply agreements.
