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 (Commodity) represents a narrow food ingredient category that state and local governments rarely procure as a standalone product line. The recent opportunities in this dataset show no direct solicitations for organic onion purees; instead, state and local buyers are purchasing organic onion purees as one item within broad, multi-category food procurement solicitations spanning produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods for institutional food service. School districts, state health and human services agencies, and state corrections departments are the primary issuing bodies, sourcing from food distributors and wholesalers rather than specialty ingredient suppliers. The work being solicited under related food codes reflects weekly or annual fixed-price contracts for school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and veterans' homes—all demand-based procurement where organic onion purees would appear as a minor line item among hundreds of commodities.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic (Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia) across school districts and state agencies. Representative recent solicitations 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 produce and prepared items under NIGP classes 380, 385, 390, and 393 with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, responses due April 27, 2026) for grocery supply across 45 schools with requirements for Buy American compliance and nine-month minimum shelf life; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs (proposals due March 4, 2026) covering 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in one geographic area. Organic onion purees do not appear as a named line item in any of these recent bids, suggesting the code may be over-classified or rarely used by procurement offices when sourcing from food service distributors.
