UNSPSC 50422207: Dried santa claus bunching onions

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

UNSPSC 50422207 Dried santa claus bunching onions (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity specifically tagged to this code; the recent opportunities in the source are instead soliciting dried beans, cafeteria food products, and institutional meal program supplies—largely unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The code does not appear in the issuing-body mix reflected in these records. State and local governments do purchase dried produce and dried goods for institutional food service (prisons, schools, correctional facilities, child-care programs), but the opportunities posted under or near this UNSPSC designation are addressing legumes, frozen entrees, proteins, and bulk commodity vegetables rather than dried onions specifically.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies: the Georgia Department of Corrections and the City of Edinburg, Texas, are both soliciting food service supplies through RFQs and RFPs; the Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Oregon are requesting bids on dried beans (pinto, red, and black) due in June and August 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, posted an IFB for cafeteria food products with response due May 4, 2026 and later extended via addendum to May 4, 2026; and the State of Illinois issued a quarterly food order solicitation in June 2026. These solicitations suggest that state correctional systems, child-care programs, and institutional food services do purchase dried commodities in bulk, but the tagged code does not align with the actual goods being sought. A firm evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for procurement purposes and instead track broader dried-goods or institutional-food-service codes and specific state correctional and institutional purchasing channels where similar dried produce may be sourced.
