UNSPSC 50492206: Organic redmate bunching onion purees

The variety of organic bunching onions known as organic redmate bunching onions which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50492206 Organic redmate bunching onion purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal targeted procurement activity under its specific name; state and local governments buying prepared vegetable products, food service supplies, and bulk ingredients solicited under this code and related food-commodity categories typically source through broader food-service and grocery-supply RFPs and IFBs rather than through line-item bids for specialty onion purees. The recent opportunities block shows no dedicated procurement for organic redmate bunching onion purees specifically. Instead, state and local buyers—school districts, corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and veterans homes—source prepared foods and fresh produce through master grocery contracts, supplemental food bids, and school nutrition program RFPs that span hundreds of line items covering proteins, dairy, vegetables, fruits, prepared entrees, and consumables. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, county and municipal school districts, and special state facilities such as supported living centers and veterans homes.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with heavy recent procurement from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, multiple Georgia school districts (Savannah-Chatham, Muscogee, Liberty, Douglas), and school systems in Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative solicitations illustrate the market structure: the Texas HHSC issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due April 6, 2026) and ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste (due March 9, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) covering 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated spending of $5.5 million. Commodity-level sourcing of specialty items such as organic redmate bunching onion purees, when it occurs, is typically embedded as a line item within these larger master contracts rather than solicited separately.
