UNSPSC 50495119: Organic red storage onion purees

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

UNSPSC 50495119 Organic red storage onion purees (Commodity) does not show relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly solicit general-purpose food procurement for school districts, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers — fresh produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and staple groceries — rather than organic onion purees as a specialized input. A single Illinois Veterans Home RFQ names onions among 24 generic food line items, but does not isolate organic puree sourcing. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied broadly to catch-all food procurements rather than to purchases of a specific prepared product.

Activity across the dataset reflects state and local food service demand centered on K-12 school nutrition, state corrections, and state health and human services facilities. Repeat buyers include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Douglas County, Liberty County, Burke County, and Muscogee County Systems in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia); state corrections departments (Oregon, Texas); and state health agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois IVHQ). Geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables at state-supported living centers with historical spend of $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections canned-tomato buy (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) serving 45 schools; and the Douglas County School System RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due February 18, 2026) for main-line food distribution with estimated annual spend of $9 million. These buyers treat food procurement as volume commodity acquisition with firm pricing, weekly or on-demand delivery, USDA compliance, and standard terms. Vendors pursuing organic ingredient sales into this market will face competition from established broadline and specialty food distributors already holding multi-year contracts and relationships.
