UNSPSC 50435205: Dried organic bulb onions

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

UNSPSC 50435205 Dried organic bulb onions is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure dried beans—pinto, black, kidney, and red varieties—under this code for institutional food service, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show demand for bulk quantities of triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried legumes delivered on FOB-destination terms with all-inclusive pricing. Correctional industries, state departments of corrections, and municipal child-care food programs are the primary issuing bodies; these buyers source dried beans as cost-effective protein staples for high-volume meal preparation in secure facilities and subsidized nutrition settings.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans in June 2026 (IFB S2910000017705, response due June 19, 2026), with a combined 10 percent Oregon-preference evaluation incentive (5 percent for in-state fabrication, 5 percent for in-state headquarters) and a historical price benchmark of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ for kidney beans in October 2026 (92100ERFQ0020612027, response due October 9, 2026) in 880-bag increments with delivery included in all-inclusive bid pricing. The City of Edinburg, Texas, requested proposals for a Child and Adult Care Food Program supply contract (RFP 2026-017) that included dried beans alongside proteins and produce, with a local-vendor preference applying within 5 percent of lowest bid under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Product specifications uniformly require triple-cleaned beans, U.S. No. 2 or better grading, FDA and USDA compliance, palletized delivery on standard four-way wooden pallets, and minimum one-year shelf life. Bid protest restrictions appear in some Oregon solicitations, and pre-bid meetings and addenda amendments are standard in large institutional procurement cycles.
