UNSPSC 50425220: Dried white storage onions

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

UNSPSC 50425220 Dried white storage onions, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code represents a specific dried vegetable product, but the most recent opportunities solicited under this classification span fresh and frozen produce, grains, proteins, dairy, and general grocery items for child nutrition, school feeding, and institutional food service—not white storage onions specifically. The one recent dried-bean solicitation (Oregon Department of Corrections for pinto and red beans) and the broader food supply contracts (Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products, Douglas County School System fresh produce and eggs, Muscogee County School District produce, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce) do not reference dried onions as a line item or commodity family. State and local governments do source dried vegetables through institutional food service contracts, but those procurements are typically organized as part of larger grocery bundles or produce categories rather than as standalone dried-white-onion line items.

Activity under this code, if present, would most likely emerge through school nutrition programs, state corrections departments, and large institutional food service operations that source from central distribution warehouses. Recent opportunities in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), Texas (TDCJ, City of Edinburg CACFP), Oregon (ODOC), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Illinois (State of Illinois IVHQ) show active procurement of food products, yet none isolate dried white storage onions as a distinct bid line. If this code is being used by a jurisdiction, it would appear as part of a broader grocery or produce solicitation; business development professionals should monitor fresh produce and grocery supply contracts for potential dried-vegetable components, though this particular commodity shows minimal recent standalone procurement activity in the current dataset.
