UNSPSC 50495105: Organic bulb onion purees

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

UNSPSC 50495105 Organic bulb onion purees is a Commodity code that in practice covers a much broader range of shelf-stable and fresh food products than its nominal scope suggests. State and local governments procure under this code for institutional food service operations including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The work being solicited spans prepared foods (french fries, hashbrown patties, chicken wings), canned and frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy products, condiments, sauces, and food service supplies (containers, napkins, trays, foil). Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (particularly Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state correctional departments, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state comptroller procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies. Texas agencies appear as repeat buyers across several recent solicitations.
