UNSPSC 50425221: Dried yellow storage onions

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

UNSPSC 50425221 Dried yellow storage onions is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of bulk dried legumes and beans for institutional food service, correctional facilities, school meal programs, and agency dining operations. The recent opportunities block shows minimal direct activity tagged to this specific code; instead, state and local buyers are actively soliciting dried beans across multiple varieties — kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and red beans — through the Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The work spans specification-driven procurement of triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried legumes suitable for institutional bulk cooking, delivered palletized and FOB destination to distribution centers or correctional facilities. Issuing bodies include state correctional agencies, state procurement divisions acting on behalf of corrections departments, city school nutrition programs (CACFP meal service), and state education or nutrition divisions. These are repeat buyers conducting quarterly or annual food-service procurement cycles.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (Solicitation S2910000017705, bids due June 19, 2026) with a 10% Oregon-preference evaluation credit and a historical price of $0.493 per pound; the Georgia Department of Corrections issued an RFQ for kidney beans in increments of 880 bags (Solicitation 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026) with all-inclusive delivery pricing and strict specification-sheet compliance requirements; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including multiple protein and staple categories to six TDCJ distribution points (Solicitation 304T26300CF, extended due date May 4, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, also solicited food and nonfood items for a CACFP meal program serving 400 children (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) under local-vendor preference rules. Most solicitations require compliance with USDA grading, FDA food-safety standards, and HACCP protocols, with delivery terms FOB destination and pricing all-inclusive of freight and fuel surcharges.
