UNSPSC 50435204: Dried organic buffalo onions

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

UNSPSC 50435204 Dried organic buffalo onions, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The single directly relevant recent opportunity—the Oregon Department of Corrections' March 2026 ITB for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans—shows that this code is being used by state agencies to procure shelf-stable dried legumes and similar bulk dry-goods items for institutional food service, but the posting itself describes pinto beans, not the organic buffalo onions named in the code definition. The remaining opportunities in the source material (school district grocery contracts, fresh-produce RFPs, cafeteria food services, and child nutrition programs) are tagged with this code but actually solicit fresh produce, prepared foods, beverages, dairy, and mixed grocery categories—not dried organic onions. This suggests either a data-tagging error in the procurement system or an institutional practice of assigning multiple food-supply opportunities to a single broad commodity code.

State and local buyers posting under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Muscogee County and Savannah-Chatham in Georgia), state correctional and criminal justice agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller), and city nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP). Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon. Because the recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for dried organic buffalo onions and the code's nominal definition does not match the actual goods being procured across the sample, practitioners should verify the code's current mapping in their target jurisdiction's procurement system before investing in pursuit strategy. The code may be inactive for dried organic onions, or it may be mis-tagged in the opportunities database.
