UNSPSC 50435208: Dried organic kelsae onions

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

UNSPSC 50435208 Dried organic kelsae onions (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities indexed under this code. The recent solicitations posted under 50435208 cover kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, dried legumes for institutional food service, and broad cafeteria food products — none of which are organic kelsae onions or onion products of any kind. The code nominally names a specific dried onion variety, but the actual procurement activity reflects general dried-bean and institutional food-supply procurement across correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and state agency meal services.

State and local buyers soliciting under this code include the Georgia Department of Corrections (Georgia Correctional Industries), the State of Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division), the City of Edinburg Parks and Recreation Department (for a Child and Adult Care Food Program operated by the Boys & Girls Club), and the State of Georgia. Recent opportunities span Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas. Representative solicitations include Georgia Correctional Industries requesting kidney beans in increments of 880 bags with bids due October 9, 2026 (IFB 92100ERFQ0020612027); the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans with bids due June 19, 2026 and a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered suppliers (IFB S2910000017705); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting cafeteria food products across 382 line items including proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments with responses due May 4, 2026 after a pre-bid conference on March 26, 2026 (IFB 304T26300CF). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests reclassification or correction may be warranted.
