UNSPSC 50485208: Kelsae onion purees

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

UNSPSC 50485208 Kelsae onion purees is a Commodity code covering prepared vegetable products sold into state and local food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations show no activity specific to onion purees. Instead, the code's parent family and related commodity codes see sustained demand from school districts, corrections departments, and state health agencies procuring broad food service supplies. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Ben Hill County Schools, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, and Muscogee County School District all posting competitive bids for annual grocery contracts in recent months. State corrections and health departments also solicit regularly—the Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple produce and canned-goods bids, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued statewide invitations for supplemental food and consumable products to serve state hospitals and supported living centers. Illinois Veterans Homes and state-facility food services round out the institutional buyer base. Geographic spread is national, with heavy concentration in the Southeast (Georgia, Tennessee area) and active procurement from the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Texas, Illinois, and Virginia.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million), the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, spanning 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens), the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One (due March 4, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products bid (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended due date May 4, 2026, 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 to align with school fiscal years, with renewal options spanning three to five years. Buy American Act compliance, USDA nutritional standards, HACCP food safety plans, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million), and firm fixed pricing are standard requirements across all issuing bodies.
