UNSPSC 50435211: Dried organic red baron onions

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

UNSPSC 50435211 Dried organic red baron onions is a Commodity code that captures institutional bulk procurement of dried legumes and specialty vegetables for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and state agency food services. The source shows state and local governments buying dried beans—pinto, red, black, and kidney varieties—in bulk quantities (ranging from 880 bags to 42,500 pounds) for institutional meal preparation, rather than the specific "dried organic red baron onions" the code nominally names. The issuing bodies span state correctional systems, state departments of corrections, municipal school districts, and state purchasing offices acting on behalf of criminal-justice and food-service agencies.

Recent solicitations show activity concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and South, with the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) soliciting approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 (S2910000017705, IFB); the State of Oregon requesting dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026 (S2910000017140, IFB); Georgia Correctional Industries requesting kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026 (92100ERFQ0020612027, RFQ); and the State of Illinois soliciting a quarterly weekly food order for July–September 2026 due June 26, 2026 (27497DVAQUINCB52821, IFB). The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal supplies including legumes and proteins due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference for bids within 5% of the lowest price. ODOC procurement carries a 10% evaluation preference (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders), requires triple-cleaned beans meeting U.S. No. 2 or better grade, FOB destination delivery on pallets to Salem within 45 days, and references a historical price of $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. All solicitations require FDA, USDA, and HACCP compliance with detailed specification sheets; delivery frequencies and terms vary from daily (school programs) to institutional distribution-center fulfillment (corrections). The code shows little activity matching the nominal "dried organic red baron onions" description; current procurement focuses on bulk dried legumes for institutional meal service.
