UNSPSC 50422210: Dried winter white bunching onions

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

UNSPSC 50422210 Dried winter white bunching onions is a Commodity code, but the most-recent state and local contract opportunities in the source show no solicitations for dried winter white bunching onions specifically. Instead, the opportunities posted under or near this code span dried beans of various types — kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans — along with broader food-supply contracts that bundle multiple categories of institutional meal ingredients. State and local governments buying under this code-family purchase dried legumes and related food staples for correctional institutions, school meal programs, child and adult care food programs, and state agency meal services. The issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), state purchasing divisions (Georgia, Oregon, Texas), and municipal entities (City of Edinburg, Texas) running child nutrition programs. Work involves specification-driven procurement of bulk dried goods meeting USDA grading standards, food-safety compliance (HACCP, FDA, Good Manufacturing Practice), and delivery to institutional distribution centers or meal-service sites.

Recent activity spans multiple states with notable concentration in Oregon and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB on June 5, 2026 (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans, offering 5% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and an additional 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders, with historical pricing at $0.493 per pound and incumbent contractor Intersect USA; Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ on October 2, 2026 (due October 9, 2026) for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with delivery included in bid pricing; and the State of Oregon posted a separate bid on August 7, 2026 (due August 21, 2026) for triple-cleaned dried black beans for institutional use. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued an IFB (304T-26-300CF) for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including dried beans alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and produce, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas posted an RFP on August 11, 2026 (due August 4, 2026) for CACFP meal program supplies including food products, paper goods, beverages, and janitorial items for approximately 400 children daily, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Responses are submitted electronically through state procurement portals (OregonBuys, OpenGov, eRFQ systems) and must comply with USDA grading, FDA regulations, and pallet/delivery specifications; Georgia and Texas solicitations require certification of compliance with tax and debarment requirements.
