UNSPSC 50415908: Organic pikant shallots

The variety of organic shallots known as organic pikant shallots

UNSPSC 50415908 Organic pikant shallots is a Commodity code that covers specialty fresh produce items, though the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement specifically for organic pikant shallots or any narrow shallot category. Instead, jurisdictions are soliciting broadly for fresh produce supply contracts that encompass dozens of vegetable and fruit line items, with shallots or similar allium vegetables potentially included within larger produce baskets but not prominently specified. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school systems—including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—along with state procurement offices in Georgia and a regional cooperative buying vehicle. A few state-level food-service solicitations also appear, indicating broader institutional and state-agency food purchasing.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. Recent representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education (Georgia) RFQ for line-by-line food bids closing June 8, 2026, encompassing 300+ food items including vegetables and 60 non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program; Northside Independent School District (Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce closing May 7, 2026, serving 127 schools across the San Antonio area with weekly delivery; Bulloch County School District (Georgia) IFP for locally-grown produce closing May 4, 2026, specifying 24 produce items grown within 200 miles of the district; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs closing March 4, 2026, serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by geographic area. Most school-district contracts are annual, running July 1 through June 30, require firm pricing for the contract period, emphasize USDA compliance and domestic-sourcing preferences, and permit line-item award to multiple vendors. The code shows active institutional procurement for fresh produce as a component of child nutrition programs, though coded opportunities typically do not isolate specialty vegetables like organic pikant shallots as discrete line items.
