UNSPSC 50425214: Dried senshyu semi-globe yellow onions

The variety of onions known as senshyu semi-globe yellow onions that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425214 Dried senshyu semi-globe yellow onions (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities instead show solicitations for dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—destined for institutional food service in correctional facilities, child care programs, and state agencies. State and local governments are not presently soliciting dried onions under this code; the bean-focused buys reflect a significant mismatch between the nominal code scope and what is actually being procured.

The issuing bodies soliciting for dried beans include state correctional departments and purchasing divisions (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections), state education or institutional procurement offices (State of Illinois), municipal and special-purpose district food service authorities (City of Edinburg, Texas), and multistate TDCJ-affiliated purchasing (Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ). Recent opportunities span Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas, with the Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas TDCJ showing the most detailed and substantial recent activity. Representative solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries seeking kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026 (RFQ 92100ERFQ0020612027), Oregon ODOC requesting approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with delivery by June 19, 2026 (bid S2910000017705), and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products including dried beans across five TDCJ warehouse regions with response due May 4, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity.
