UNSPSC 50435215: Dried organic sturon onions

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

UNSPSC 50435215 Dried organic sturon onions is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it predominantly feature dried beans — kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans — procured by correctional institutions, school food programs, and state agencies for bulk institutional meal preparation and service. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope of dried organic sturon onions; instead, issuing bodies are using the code to solicit a broader range of dried legumes for high-volume institutional kitchens. Buyers include state correctional departments (Georgia Correctional Industries, Oregon Department of Corrections), state departments and educational institutions (State of Oregon), school districts and community food programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), state agencies (State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The work centers on procuring triple-cleaned, USDA-graded dried beans in multi-thousand-pound quantities, with strict specifications for foreign-material removal, moisture content, defect thresholds, shelf life, and compliance with FDA, USDA, HACCP, and Good Manufacturing Practice standards.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% combined evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors, FOB destination to Salem with palletized delivery required within 45 days; the historical purchase price was $0.493 per pound from incumbent Intersect USA. Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ (92100ERFQ0020612027) for kidney beans in 880-bag increments with delivery included in all-inclusive bid pricing, due October 9, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited CACFP meal program supplies including dried beans as part of a five-category food and nonfood procurement serving 400 children, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 and proposals due August 4, 2026 at 3:00 PM. The State of Oregon requested bids on dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026, for institutional use by state agencies or educational institutions. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas, with response extended via addendum to May 4, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. Central Time; the contract term runs through August 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. Technical compliance with specifications, delivery timeliness, insurance minimums ($500,000 general liability), and certification of regulatory compliance are consistent requirements across all solicitations.
