UNSPSC 50425900: Dried shallots

The type of vegetable known as shallots that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425900 Dried shallots, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity filed under it. The source records show solicitations for broad-based food service contracting—fresh produce, proteins, grains, dairy, beverages, and staple items for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child care meal service—but dried shallots appear in none of the posted opportunities. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the filing system or that dried shallots, if procured at all by state and local entities, are bundled into larger food service RFPs rather than solicited as a standalone commodity.

The opportunities instead span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County in Georgia; Edinburg ISD in Texas), a state corrections department (Oregon), and a state purchasing office (Georgia, Illinois, Texas). Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), covering 76-plus food items delivered to 45 schools; the Texas Comptroller's Cafeteria Food Products IFB for TDCJ (304T26300CF, response extended to May 4, 2026) spanning roughly 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026), estimated at $4.4 million for Area One. If dried shallots are part of any procurement strategy, they would be found as line items within these broader food service contracts rather than as a distinct procurement focus.
