UNSPSC 50415900: Organic shallots

The type of organic vegetable known as organic shallots

UNSPSC 50415900 Organic shallots is a Commodity Class code that sits within the broader produce and food-service procurement landscape, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect purchases of organic shallots specifically. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover broad fresh-produce procurement for school nutrition programs and state food services—including apples, bananas, leafy greens, carrots, bell peppers, eggs, and dozens of other commodity produce items. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat buyers including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), and Bulloch County School District (Georgia). The code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with organic shallots as a distinct procurement line item; it appears to have been applied as a catch-all category for general fresh-produce sourcing rather than as a specific commodity identifier.

The geographic concentration of recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Utah, and Florida, with Georgia school districts accounting for the largest share of recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (response due May 7, 2026), Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce (due April 14, 2026), Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia regions with an estimated annual value of $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026), and Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages (due March 11, 2026). Across these solicitations, state and local buyers require weekly or multiple-weekly deliveries, HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, general liability insurance ($1 million–$2 million), and firm pricing for contract periods typically running July 1 through June 30 with renewal options. If your firm sources or distributes fresh produce broadly—rather than organic shallots as a specialty item—this code and its tagged opportunities warrant pursuit, particularly through school-district cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct district RFPs in Georgia, Texas, and the Southeast.
