UNSPSC 50422203: Dried ishikura bunching onions

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

UNSPSC 50422203 Dried ishikura bunching onions, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities posted under this code solicit broad food-service supplies — fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria products, and groceries for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations — but none identify dried bunching onions as a line item. The code designation appears misaligned with the work actually being procured. State and local solicitations using this code span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, and Douglas County systems in Georgia), correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state purchasing divisions (Texas Comptroller, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), and municipal child-nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas).

Recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, responses due April 27, 2026) covering delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products solicitation (IFB 304T-26-300CF, responses due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and staples to six distribution points; the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (responses due June 19, 2026, $0.493 per pound historical pricing); Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery items covering over 900 line items for the 2026-27 school year (responses due April 29, 2026); and Muscogee County School District's produce procurement of approximately 60 fresh-produce items (responses due April 27, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement divisions), Texas (state comptroller and municipal programs), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). The code shows consistent activity across school districts nationwide and select state agencies, but the mismatch between the code name and the commodity actually being solicited suggests either taxonomic misalignment or broad bundling of grocery categories under a single code designation.
