UNSPSC 50435221 Dried organic yellow storage onions (Commodity) covers dried legumes and bulk institutional food staples procured by state agencies, correctional systems, school districts, and public meal programs. State and local governments solicit this code primarily for large-volume dried-bean purchases intended for institutional cooking and meal preparation at correctional facilities, child and adult care food programs, and state agency warehouses.

Issuing bodies include state correctional departments, state purchasing offices acting on behalf of corrections and education agencies, municipal parks and recreation departments operating meal programs, and regional procurement divisions handling multi-site institutional supply chains.
