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 map to the recent state and local solicitations posted under this code. The recent opportunities show that state and local agencies are instead purchasing dried beans of various types—kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans—for institutional food service and meal programs, as well as broader cafeteria food products and kitchen supplies. The code's nominal scope (dried redmate bunching onions) does not align with the actual procurement activity tagged to it, indicating either a cataloging mismatch in the source data or dormancy in onion-specific procurement under this Commodity code. State and local buyers for dried-bean and institutional food products span correctional departments, child and adult care food programs, departments of corrections, and state purchasing offices acquiring for multiple agencies and institutions.

The recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments with an October 9, 2026 response deadline via RFQ. The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026017 for a Child and Adult Care Food Program spanning beverages, paper goods, proteins, breads, produce, snacks, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for approximately 400 children ages 1–18, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, solicited cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and staples across 382 line items via IFB 304T26300CF, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. The State of Oregon requested bids for triple-cleaned dried black beans due August 21, 2026 for institutional use.
