UNSPSC 50415911: Organic topper shallots

The variety of organic shallots known as organic topper shallots

UNSPSC 50415911 Organic topper shallots is a Commodity code with no recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The source material contains sixteen school district and state agency solicitations for fresh produce, prepared foods, and child nutrition services posted between February 2026 and May 2026, but none explicitly solicit shallots—organic, topper-grade, or otherwise. The opportunities span produce procurement from individual school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa; Bulloch County School District in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Muscogee County School District in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Glynn County Board of Education in Georgia; McAllen Independent School District in Texas; Austin Independent School District in Texas) and state agencies (State of Georgia for general produce and food supplies), with deliveries typically required Monday through Friday during school hours and contracts running fiscal year cycles (July 1 through June 30). Pricing is evaluated against USDA market reports and Agricultural Marketing Service indexes; vendors must maintain HACCP certification, general liability insurance from $1 million to $2 million, and Buy American compliance. All solicitations emphasize fresh, domestically sourced produce with minimal processing, serving student populations under USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable standards.

The absence of any shallot line item—let alone organic or specialty-grade shallots—across this dense and recent activity block indicates limited or no institutional procurement under this specific Commodity code. School nutrition programs focus on commodity staples: apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, onions (generically), potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, and eggs, with occasional specialty items like berries and citrus. Topper shallots represent a premium, non-staple vegetable outside the scope of child nutrition standardized menus and USDA reimbursable produce lists. Unless regional or specialty farm-to-school initiatives explicitly target shallots as a "locally grown" alternative within 200 miles (as Bulloch County does for Vidalia onions), this code shows no actionable pipeline. Monitor Georgia and Texas school districts for emerging farm-to-school or specialty-produce expansions, but current evidence does not support active pursuit.
