UNSPSC 50435220: Dried organic white storage onions

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

UNSPSC 50435220 Dried organic white storage onions (Commodity) covers dried beans and legumes for institutional food service and meal programs operated by state correctional facilities, school districts, child care providers, and state departments. State and local procurement offices use this code to source bulk dried beans—pinto, black, kidney, and red varieties—for cafeteria operations, correctional meal services, and CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program) child nutrition initiatives. The work entails supplying triple-cleaned, USDA-graded product meeting food-safety and moisture-content standards suitable for institutional-scale cooking, with deliveries palletized and FOB destination to central distribution or feeding sites. Issuing bodies span state correctional departments, state purchase divisions, county or city child-nutrition programs, and independent school districts, with repeat activity from Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
