UNSPSC 50485211: Red baron onion purees

The variety of onions known as red baron onions which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485211 Red baron onion purees (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, but the recent-opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for red baron onion purees or any onion puree products. Instead, state and local governments are buying broad-spectrum food service consumables — prepared and frozen proteins, canned vegetables, dairy products, condiments, seasonings, and food service supplies — across institutional cafeterias, school nutrition programs, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and supported living centers. The issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) facilities, Georgia and Oregon school districts and county governments, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and Georgia county boards of education. These jurisdictions procure food on recurring annual or multi-year contracts with firm pricing, delivery-within-days requirements, and USDA or FDA compliance mandates.

The geographic spread is concentrated in Texas (HHSC El Paso and Lufkin state supported living centers, TDCJ cafeteria foods), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and Oregon (Department of Corrections canned tomatoes). Texas appears most active, with multiple HHSC solicitations issued in May, June, and August 2026 spanning $1.5 million to $4.5 million potential contract values over multi-year periods. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2, posted May 19, 2026, 210 line items, $4.5 million potential over three years); the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026, with previous pricing at $13.75 per case); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive school nutrition food (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026, requiring Buy American certification and HACCP plans). The code shows no recent activity matching red baron onion purees specifically, suggesting either minimal state and local demand for this branded product or classification mismatch in the available opportunities.
