UNSPSC 50435221: Dried organic yellow storage onions

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

UNSPSC 50435221 Dried organic yellow storage onions, a Commodity code, does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The most recent opportunities tagged under or related to dried produce procurement show heavy activity in dried beans rather than dried onions specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for dried pinto and red beans in March and June 2026, with quantities of 127,500 pounds and 42,500 pounds respectively, both requiring U.S. No. 2 or better grade, triple-cleaned product delivered FOB destination to Salem within 45 days of order. The source shows no recent solicitations naming dried organic yellow storage onions as a line item, and dried-vegetable procurement in state and local jurisdictions appears narrowly concentrated in legumes rather than alliums or other storage vegetables.

School districts and corrections departments dominate the recent opportunities for dried commodity foods, though the actual buying focus diverges sharply from onions toward beans, fresh produce, and broad-line food-service contracts. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all issued RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs for grocery and produce items between February and April 2026, but none named dried onions in their line-item specifications. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and State of Illinois also solicited food items in May and June 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Missouri, and Oregon, with school nutrition programs and correctional facilities driving demand. The code itself may misclassify commodity dried-vegetable procurement; business development professionals should verify whether their dried-onion capability aligns with actual line-item demand in current food-service solicitations before pursuing contracts under this code.
