UNSPSC 50485222: Pink onion purees

Variety of onions known as pink onions. which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485222 Pink onion purees (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities tracked in the source. The recent solicitations tagged to this code — spanning Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri from February through June 2026 — are for broad food service procurement covering canned and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, bakery items, and consumables for correctional facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and state supported living centers. None of the opportunities specifically identify pink onion purees or any onion puree products as line items. The source shows activity primarily in school district nutrition procurement (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System) alongside state agency food service for corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), health and human services (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Education), and veterans facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic concentration appears heaviest in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and Midwest (Illinois, Missouri). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), covering food and consumable products under NIGP classes 385, 390, 380, and 393 with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, response due April 27, 2026) for grocery supply and delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens; and the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomato solicitation (response due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases.

The code shows no relevant recent activity. The opportunities in the dataset address commodity procurement at scale — canned goods, fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, proteins, and supplies — but do not isolate or solicit specialty ingredients such as onion purees. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that pink onion purees are procured at such low volume or as a minor component of larger food service contracts that they do not appear as distinct line items or solicitation focus areas in state and local procurement. Firms pursuing opportunities in this commodity should focus on broader food service distribution contracts rather than expect standalone pink onion puree solicitations.
