UNSPSC 50422202: Dried feast bunching onions

The variety of bunching onions known as feast bunching onions that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50422202 Dried feast bunching onions (Commodity) covers specialty dried vegetable ingredients procured by state and local agencies, though the recent opportunity record shows minimal direct solicitation for this specific commodity. State and local governments buying under this code acquire dried onions and similar preserved produce for institutional food service, primarily through school districts, state corrections agencies, and municipal child nutrition programs that require shelf-stable vegetable components for bulk meal preparation. The issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state child nutrition agencies, and city nutrition services (City of Edinburg, Texas), with school district procurement dominating the recent activity block. These entities typically consolidate dried goods purchases into broader grocery or food-supply RFPs and ITBs rather than issuing standalone solicitations for individual dried produce items.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 ITB for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (ITB S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026) and a subsequent June 2026 ITB for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (ITB S2910000017140, due June 19, 2026)—both indicating state corrections' reliance on dried legumes as meal-service staples. Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026) spanning multiple produce and staple categories with weekly school delivery, while the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) procured fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One. The City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) solicited food products including vegetables for 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference applied under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Most school district and state agency food solicitations include dried goods as line items within comprehensive grocery contracts rather than issuing discrete RFPs for dried onions or similar specialty dried produce, making standalone opportunity flow for this Commodity code sparse.
