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 is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within the broader category of food ingredients and prepared items that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show minimal direct demand for this specific item; the opportunities posted under this code reflect a wider pattern of state and local purchasing for general food products, prepared entrees, and institutional meal components rather than specialty onion purees by brand. Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia are active in food procurement, but the recent solicitations emphasize fresh produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and bulk grocery items rather than branded onion purees as a line item.

State and local food procurement is dominated by school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers that solicit through IFB, RFP, and RFQ vehicles. School districts in Fairfax County, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County, Georgia; Ben Hill County, Georgia; and Burke County, Georgia have posted IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive annual food supply contracts covering hundreds of line items with responses due between April and June 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections have issued multiple IFBs for specific commodity items such as canned tomatoes and tomato paste, while state facilities in Illinois, Texas, and Georgia solicit quarterly or annual food orders with firm fixed pricing. The geographic spread spans Virginia, Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon, with the highest concentration of recent activity in school districts across Georgia and Texas state agencies. Because the source shows no recent solicitations explicitly requesting Red Baron onion purees or comparable branded onion puree products, vendors pursuing this code should recognize that the actual buying activity under the UNSPSC number reflects general food supply procurement rather than this specific product category, limiting immediate pursuit opportunity unless qualifying as a line item within broader grocery or prepared-food RFPs.
