UNSPSC 50485221: Yellow storage onion purees

The variety of onions known as yellow storage onions which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485221 Yellow storage onion purees is a Commodity code covering onion-based purees and prepared condiments for institutional food service. State and local solicitations under this code show limited direct activity for onion purees specifically; instead, the code appears as part of broader consumables and food-supply aggregations where institutional buyers procure sauces, condiments, and prepared food components alongside fresh proteins, frozen vegetables, and kitchen supplies. Issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies operating supported living centers and hospitals, county and municipal school districts purchasing for nutrition programs, state corrections departments, and county social services divisions. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) appear multiple times in recent postings. The geographic spread reflects procurement activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois.

Representative recent opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods including prepared sauces at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026) and IFB HHS0017872 for fiscal year 2027 consumables and food items at the same facility (bids due August 25, 2026), both soliciting prepared food components and sauces on an annual contract cycle with seven-day delivery performance windows and F.O.B. Destination terms. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition procurement including seasonings and condiments (bids due June 15, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) sought sealed bids for school nutrition supplies including prepared foods and condiments across five schools (bids due June 5, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections procurement for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, bids due June 19, 2026) and Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across warehouse locations (extended response date May 4, 2026) represent large-volume state agency food service supply chains where onion purees and similar condiments appear as line items within broader food aggregations. Most recent opportunities reflect annual or quarterly contract cycles with firm pricing, performance bonds, insurance requirements, and multi-year renewal options; institutional buyers typically require three to five verifiable references, E-Verify compliance, debarment certification, and HACCP plan compliance when contract values exceed thresholds.
