UNSPSC 50435217: Dried organic sweet onions

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

UNSPSC 50435217 Dried organic sweet onions (Commodity) captures a narrow product line, but recent state and local solicitations do not show measurable procurement activity under this specific code. The source includes one Oregon Department of Corrections opportunity for dried pinto and red beans (S2910000017140, ITB, bids due June 19, 2026), but no state or local opportunities for dried sweet onions specifically. The code sits within the broader landscape of institutional food purchasing — school districts, correctional facilities, and child care programs buy dried legumes, produce, and grocery items regularly — yet the available records show little to no recent tender activity targeting this particular dried-onion commodity.

State and local food procurement activity concentrates heavily in school nutrition, institutional food service, and child care meal programs across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Virginia, with solicitations focused on fresh produce, proteins, grains, dairy, and dried beans rather than specialized dried vegetables. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple Georgia school districts have recently posted master grocery contracts, produce tenders, and cafeteria-food ITBs and RFPs with response deadlines between April and August 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections and related state purchasing offices represent repeat institutional buyers in the dried-goods space, but their recent activity targets bulk dried legumes and fresh produce rather than dried onions. Until procurement records show state and local governments issuing explicit solicitations for dried organic sweet onions as a line item or primary deliverable, this code presents minimal visibility and should be monitored for future activity rather than pursued on current opportunity evidence.
