UNSPSC 50426862: Dried tree onion

The type of vegetable known as tree onion that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50426862 Dried tree onion is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—dried tree onion as a food ingredient—shows little alignment with the actual work state and local governments are buying under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span child nutrition services, corrections facility food service, school nutrition programs, and fresh produce procurement, none of which center on dried tree onion as a distinct line item. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate bids for dried pinto and red beans (March and June 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited 382 line items of cafeteria food products spanning proteins, grains, dairy, and produce—but dried tree onion does not appear as a specified commodity in these detailed scopes. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas solicited fresh produce, groceries, and prepared foods for K-12 nutrition programs, again with no emphasis on dried tree onion as a procurement focus.

The issuing bodies are predominantly state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia) and school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia). The City of Edinburg, Texas, and the Rockwood school district represent local municipal and education bodies. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon. The code appears to be a misclassification vehicle for broader food-service solicitations rather than a genuine category for dried tree onion procurement; firms pursuing work under this code should verify actual commodity specifications in detailed bid documents before committing resources, as the nominal scope diverges substantially from the mixed food-service and nutrition work currently tagged to it.
