UNSPSC 50424107: Dried cipolinos

The variety of herbs known as cipolinos that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50424107 Dried cipolinos is a Commodity code identifying a specific food product — dried onions in their bulbous form — that state and local governments purchase as part of broader food service and consumable-supply contracts. The code does not appear as a standalone line item in recent state and local solicitations; instead, dried cipolinos would be ordered as one product among hundreds in institutional food service procurements covering fresh, frozen, dried, and specialty food items for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and other public agencies. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code's parent families and classes are primarily state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Public Health equivalents), state correctional and criminal justice departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System), and state education agencies. Recent activity spans food service contracts for inmate cafeterias, state hospital and supported living center kitchens, and K-12 school nutrition programs, where cipolinos would appear alongside produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies as a line item in broader IFB or RFP solicitations for quarterly or annual food supply.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, where school districts and state agencies have posted the most visible food service solicitations in the first half of 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, and specialty foods across five Texas warehouse locations; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, response deadline March 19, 2026) encompassing 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years; Fairfax County Public Schools master grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring minimum response to 76 items across weekly school deliveries and warehouse supply; and Rockwood R-VI School District child nutrition services grocery items IFB (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items for a district serving nearly 19,000 students. All solicitations specify firm fixed pricing, compliance with federal food safety and USDA grade standards, and delivery to multiple locations or distribution points.
