UNSPSC 50495112: Organic red onion purees

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

UNSPSC 50495112 Organic red onion purees is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable and fresh food products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span a much broader set of consumable food items than the code's nominal scope suggests — bidders are fielding requests for prepared foods, proteins, frozen and canned vegetables, dairy products, condiments, sauces, and food service supplies across school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and county senior services. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Ben Hill County Schools), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears repeatedly as a high-volume buyer of food and consumables for state-operated facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, canned proteins, sauces, and vegetables (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement of approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case); and Burke County Public Schools' school nutrition food bid for nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories with firm pricing for 30 days and six-month price adjustments thereafter (due June 5, 2026). Contracts typically run one to two years with renewal or extension options, require F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight prepaid, demand three to five business references, and mandate compliance with federal food safety standards, E-Verify, debarment certifications, and minimum liability insurance thresholds of $500,000 to $1,000,000 aggregate.
