UNSPSC 50495110: Organic pearl onion purees

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

UNSPSC 50495110 Organic pearl onion purees is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; state and local governments buying under this code are predominantly school districts and institutional food service operations (corrections departments, health and human services facilities, veterans homes) that source broad food and consumable products for meal service. The recent opportunities block includes no solicitations specifically for organic pearl onion purees or purees of any kind. Instead, the tagged opportunities document procurement of canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, and general grocery items for school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, and correctional facilities. The mismatch between the code name and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the source material or that organic pearl onion purees represent a negligible line item within larger food service aggregations.

State and local food service procurement is heavily concentrated among school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System) and institutional correctional and health facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home). Activity spans multiple states including Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition procurement dominating the geographic spread. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution services with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. Procurement activity is active but the code as tagged does not reflect what is actually being bought.
