UNSPSC 50425205: Dried bulb onions

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

UNSPSC 50425205 Dried bulb onions, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of dried bean and legume products for institutional food service, including dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans supplied to state correctional facilities, school meal programs, and other public institutions. State and local governments buy these products in bulk quantities—typically hundreds to tens of thousands of pounds—packaged for wholesale cooking and meal preparation. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state purchasing offices coordinating multi-agency food procurement, municipal school districts operating child care and nutrition programs, and state educational institutions. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat buyers in recent activity, reflecting sustained institutional demand for shelf-stable legumes as cost-effective protein sources.

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of triple-cleaned dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, IFB, due June 19, 2026), offering Oregon-fabrication and Oregon-headquarters preferences totaling 10% in evaluation; the State of Oregon also solicited dried black beans triple-cleaned for institutional use (S2910000017705, due August 21, 2026). Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in increments of 880 bags (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ, due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification documentation requirements. The City of Edinburg, Texas, included dried beans among five supply categories for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) covering approximately 400 children ages 1–18 daily with Monday–Friday deliveries required before noon. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products spanning multiple legume items across five geographic warehouse locations (304T26300CF, IFB, extended to May 4, 2026). Specifications consistently emphasize USDA grading, triple-cleaning for contaminant removal, palletized delivery on wooden four-way entry pallets, and FOB destination terms to institutional distribution points.
