UNSPSC 50485210: Pearl onion purees

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

UNSPSC 50485210 Pearl onion purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent activity. The code nominally covers a specialty vegetable product, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect pearl onion puree procurement — instead, the opportunities cover broad food and consumable purchasing for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and state veterans homes. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the general-purpose food procurement activity tagged to it suggests either tagging error or use of the code as a catch-all within a broader food-category family. No opportunities explicitly solicit pearl onion purees or substantially similar products.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia Department), and county/municipal nutrition programs. The geographic spread includes Texas, Illinois, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with bids due July 13, 2026 (ITB covering food and consumables under NIGP classes 385, 390, 380, and 393); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with bids due April 27, 2026. None of these solicitations target pearl onion purees specifically, indicating that the code assignment does not align with actual procurement activity under it.
