UNSPSC 50492200: Organic bunching onion purees

The type of organic vegetable known as organic bunching onions which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50492200 Organic bunching onion purees is a Class code that encompasses broader fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable food procurement by state and local institutions — the recent opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the nominal scope of organic onion purees and instead reflect general food-service supply contracts for correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, school districts, and county social services agencies. State and local buyers under this code family procure prepared foods, proteins, frozen entrees, dairy products, canned and fresh vegetables, condiments, breads, seasonings, and consumable food-service supplies for institutional dining and canteen operations. Texas leads recent activity, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issuing multiple solicitations for food and consumable products serving state hospitals and correctional and residential care facilities. Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Gwinnett County have also posted active food procurement RFQs and IFBs. Oregon (Department of Corrections) and Illinois round out the geographic spread, though the Oregon posting provides insufficient detail and the Illinois entry lacks substantive specification content.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, covering fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated food products and consumable supplies with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T26300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas, due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum); the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, and canned vegetables, due October 19, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive grocery procurement across multiple product categories serving four schools, due June 15, 2026, with Buy American requirements for food containing over 51 percent domestically grown components. Institutional food contracts typically demand firm, fixed pricing for initial periods with allowances for indexed price adjustments thereafter, F.O.B. Destination delivery, multiple references, compliance certifications including E-Verify and debarment status, general liability insurance, and HACCP or food safety documentation.
