UNSPSC 50435206: Dried organic creaming onions

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

UNSPSC 50435206 Dried organic creaming onions, a Commodity code, sees limited direct activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting dried organic creaming onions; instead, state and local buyers are issuing broad food supply contracts that span multiple product categories including dried goods, with onions appearing incidentally as one line item among hundreds in larger grocery or institutional food service procurements. The code's nominal scope—dried organic creaming onions as a discrete product—does not align with the structure of actual state and local demand, which packages dried vegetables within comprehensive meal programs, cafeteria supply, school nutrition services, and correctional facility food service where individual ingredient sourcing is subordinate to overall supplier relationships and delivery logistics.

State and local issuing bodies purchasing food supplies under related codes include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state nutrition programs (Illinois quarterly food orders, Georgia produce procurement), city child nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), and county school systems across Texas, Missouri, Georgia, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities show the pattern: the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse locations (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District solicited over 900 grocery line items for the 2026–27 school year (due April 29, 2026); and Muscogee County School District sought 60 fresh produce line items with pricing tied to USDA Market News indices (ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026). Dried beans appear explicitly in two Oregon Department of Corrections procurements (ITB S-29100-00016233 for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans in March 2026; and bid S2910000017140 for 42,500 pounds of mixed dried pinto and red beans in June 2026), but dried organic creaming onions do not surface as a named item in any posted solicitation. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia, with procurement cycles running annual to quarterly. The absence of dried organic creaming onions as a line-item solicitation suggests that institutional food buyers either source this product through broader vendor relationships, purchase substitute items, or limit demand sufficiently that it does not trigger standalone bids.
