UNSPSC 50422206: Dried redmate bunching onions

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

UNSPSC 50422206 Dried redmate bunching onions (Commodity) does not reflect meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific dried vegetable product, but the recent opportunities tagged with this code show little alignment with dried onion procurement—instead, the records capture broad food-service solicitations spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, beverages, and supplies for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child care operations.

The source includes fourteen recent state and local opportunities, none of which specifically name dried bunching onions as a line item or procurement focus. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for dried beans (pinto and red beans combined, and pinto beans alone) in March and June 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited 382 line items of cafeteria food products across multiple categories via IFB 304T-26-300CF in May 2026, but neither procurement identifies onions or onion products as a distinct requirement. School districts in Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, and Texas have posted multiple IFBs and RFPs for master grocery contracts, fresh produce, and nutrition services covering dozens of commodity lines—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, potatoes, eggs, and dairy—yet dried onions do not appear in the itemized line items or scope descriptions provided. The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the State of Illinois both solicited food and nonfood items for meal programs and institutional feeding, but the available documentation does not break out dried onion specifications. This code appears to be a taxonomy artifact rather than an active procurement category in the state and local market represented by these opportunities. Vendors evaluating pursuit of work under this code should verify actual commodity requirements directly with issuing bodies rather than relying on the UNSPSC designation as a signal of current demand.
