UNSPSC 50415906: Organic grise de bagnolet shallots

The variety of organic shallots known as organic grise de bagnolet shallots

UNSPSC 50415906 Organic grise de bagnolet shallots (Commodity) reflects narrow, specialized procurement in state and local food service — specifically fresh produce sourced for institutional dining, concessions, and school meal programs. The code targets a particular varietal of shallot rather than general produce categories, and recent state and local solicitations show that governments acquire produce through venue-specific food-service contracts, health-care coalition purchasing, and school district meal-program procurement. Issuing bodies span county parks and recreation departments, school boards, health-care coalitions, and state governments, each buying produce as part of broader food-service or nutrition operations. The work involves vendor compliance with food-safety standards, delivery schedules, temperature and freshness guarantees, and often domestic-sourcing or local-vendor preferences.

Geographic activity includes Florida (Collier County parks concessions), Marion County (health-care coalition), Georgia (state food procurement and Early County Schools), and likely extends across other states where school districts and institutional food services source fresh produce. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park and concession facilities with a due date of March 6, 2025 and local-vendor preference scoring; Marion Health Care Coalition's RFQ for produce proposals due August 21, 2026; the State of Georgia's bid for food and kitchen products due June 22, 2026; and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering approximately 300 food items and emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations. School district opportunities tend to emphasize compliance with USDA nutrition standards, Buy American provisions, and multi-school delivery logistics.
