UNSPSC 50435201: Dried organic albion onions

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

UNSPSC 50435201 Dried organic albion onions, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific variety of dehydrated onion product—finds no match in the opportunities posted in the past six months. The recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code actually solicit broad fresh produce, dried beans, grocery staples, and school nutrition items that fall outside the narrow product definition. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans (127,500 pounds in March 2026 and 42,500 pounds in June 2026) at $0.43 and $0.493 per pound respectively; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items including proteins, grains, dairy, and canned vegetables; and multiple school districts and food service agencies in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia solicited fresh produce, grocery items, and meal program supplies. These opportunities reflect demand for commodity-scale food procurement to support institutional feeding operations—prisons, schools, child care programs—but the dried albion onion variety does not surface as a line item or category within any posted solicitation.

The activity visible under this code reflects mislabeling or tagging error in the procurement system rather than genuine market demand for dried organic albion onions at the state and local level. Buyers in this segment—corrections departments, school nutrition services, child care programs—source dried vegetables and alliums as components of larger meal programs, but the posting records do not itemize by specific onion variety or organic certification. No representative opportunity names dried organic albion onions as a deliverable, no issuing body appears to seek this product specifically, and geographic spread across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia masks an absence of actual demand for the commodity. A vendor pursuing this code would benefit from verifying whether it reflects genuine procurement intent or represents stale or miscoded records in the state and local system.
