UNSPSC 50485216: Stuttgarter giant onion purees

The variety of onions known as stuttgarter giant onions which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485216 Stuttgarter giant onion purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities record shows no solicitations for Stuttgarter giant onion purees or any specialty onion products. Instead, the code appears to have been misapplied to a broad set of food service and school nutrition procurements spanning produce, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and consumable supplies across multiple state and local jurisdictions. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests this Commodity classification is either an administrative error or the result of overly broad tagging in the source procurement system. The issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia state operations), county school districts (Muscogee County, Douglas County, Burke County, Ben Hill County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI), and smaller state-supported living centers. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with Texas and Georgia showing the heaviest recent posting volume across multiple facilities.

Recent opportunities in this tag set cover food supply contracts ranging from $1.5 million historical value (Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) to approximately $9 million annually (Douglas County School System food supply and distribution, RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026) and up to $4.5 million over three years for statewide supplemental food and consumables (Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026). School nutrition procurements dominate the activity, with multiple districts issuing competitive bids for grocery items, fresh produce, and eggs—Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District (grocery items and NOI products, both due April 29, 2026), and Liberty County Board of Education (IFB for food products, due April 29, 2026) all active in the April–July 2026 cycle. Correctional and state-supported living facility procurement also appears frequently, typically as ITBs or IFBs with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, USDA grade specifications, and delivery to central distribution points. None of the opportunities actually solicit Stuttgarter giant onion purees by name or specialty onion products; the code assignment appears to be a system artifact rather than a valid indicator of commodity-specific demand.
