UNSPSC 50432201: Dried organic beltsville bunching onions

The variety of organic bunching onions known as organic beltsville bunching onions that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50432201 Dried organic beltsville bunching onions is a Commodity code representing dried bulb vegetables and related legumes procured by state and local institutions for mass feeding operations. However, the recent opportunities tagged under this code show a substantial mismatch: the solicitations are for kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and mixed cafeteria food products — none of which are beltsville bunching onions. State and local governments do source dried beans and legumes for correctional facilities, child care programs, and other institutional food service at scale, procuring in bulk (42,500 pounds for the Oregon Department of Corrections in a single transaction, 880-bag increments for Georgia Correctional Industries, weekly standing orders for Illinois). Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state purchasing offices, cities operating child and adult care food programs, and state agencies coordinating institutional food supply. Specifications emphasize USDA grading standards, triple-cleaning, moisture and foreign-material limits, bulk palletization, and compliance with FDA, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice requirements. Pricing is all-inclusive with freight and delivery integrated into bids, and delivery windows are tight — daily service before noon in some cases, FOB destination within 45 days in others.

The recent activity clusters in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% in-state preference (5% for Oregon processing, 5% for Oregon headquarters) and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans due October 9, 2026, requiring 880-bag increments and delivery included in all-inclusive pricing; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple line items including dried legumes, extended to May 4, 2026, with FOB destination delivery to six TDCJ distribution points and a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee; the City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and a due date of August 4, 2026 at 3:00 PM. The code shows little relevant recent activity under its stated commodity name, suggesting either classification drift in the source data or that dried beltsville bunching onions see minimal state and local procurement in the current market.
