UNSPSC 50422208: Dried tokyo bunching onions

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

UNSPSC 50422208 Dried tokyo bunching onions (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with the code's specific scope. State and local governments soliciting under dried-onion codes are actually procuring institutional bulk dried beans—pinto, black, kidney, and red varieties—for correctional facilities, child-care food programs, and state agency meal services. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments of corrections, state purchasing divisions, and municipal meal-service programs; Georgia Correctional Industries and the Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat institutional buyers. Work centers on procurement of USDA-graded dried legumes in large quantities (thousands of pounds or hundreds of bags per order), triple-cleaned to remove debris and foreign material, with delivery to central distribution points on strict timelines and palletization standards. Bidders typically price on an all-inclusive, FOB destination basis with no separate freight reimbursement, and must demonstrate compliance with FDA, USDA, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice requirements.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections bid approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, IFB, due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST), with a 10% combined Oregon-origin evaluation preference and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited 880-bag increments of kidney beans (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ, due October 9, 2026) with strict specification-sheet compliance requirements and no compliance shortcuts permitted in bid responses. The City of Edinburg, Texas, requested proposals for CACFP meal-program supply including dried beans and other food products for 400 children daily (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026), with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 favoring bids within 5% of the lowest price. The code shows no solicitations for dried tokyo bunching onions specifically; the recent activity reflects a systematic mismatch between the code's nominal scope and institutional purchasing for dried bean staples.
