UNSPSC 50425900: Dried shallots

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

UNSPSC 50425900 Dried shallots (Class) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—dried shallots as a produce commodity—bears no relation to the six recent opportunities posted under this classification between May and October 2026, which instead procure dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), comprehensive institutional food supplies, and cafeteria products for correctional facilities, child-care programs, and state agencies.

The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement suggests this code either has been misapplied in the state and local sourcing systems where these opportunities were tagged, or the code classification infrastructure contains stale or inaccurate mappings. Vendors pursuing food-supply contracts with state correctional systems, educational institutions, and child-care providers should verify the correct UNSPSC codes for dried legumes, institutional food products, and cafeteria supplies—likely within the broader produce or food-and-beverage families—rather than rely on this dried-shallots classification to surface relevant opportunities. No actionable procurement activity exists under this code at present.
