UNSPSC 50435202: Dried organic alisa craig onions

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

UNSPSC 50435202 Dried organic alisa craig onions is a Commodity code that sits at the narrowest tier of the taxonomy, but recent state and local opportunities show minimal activity directly aligned with this specific produce item. The code nominally describes a single dried onion variety, yet the procurement records tagged with this code predominantly solicit broad-based food supply — fresh produce, dried beans, cafeteria staples, and school nutrition items — rather than specialty dried organic onions. The issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state procurement divisions (Georgia, Illinois), and municipal nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). A handful of large school districts and state agencies appear multiple times across the opportunities, particularly Georgia school systems (Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County) and the Oregon Department of Corrections. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois.

Representative recent solicitations under this code include the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement of 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (ITB S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026) and the Rockwood R-VI School District's request for over 900 line items of grocery items spanning snacks, vegetables, meats, and prepared entrees for the 2026–27 school year (due April 29, 2026 via NUTRIKIDS electronic system). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas, with response due May 4, 2026 after an extension via Addendum No. 2. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items to support a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving approximately 400 children daily (RFP 2026017, due August 4, 2026), with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. These opportunities reveal a mismatch between the commodity's narrow name and the actual breadth of food-supply contracting reflected in the tagging — dried organic alisa craig onions do not feature in the detailed scopes of work posted, suggesting either misclassification in the indexing system or infrequent standalone procurement of this specific item at the state and local level.
