UNSPSC 50425901: Dried atlantic shallots

The variety of shallots known as atlantic shallots that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425901 Dried atlantic shallots, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit dried beans—black beans, pinto beans, red beans, and kidney beans—rather than shallots, and include broad food-supply solicitations that span multiple categories. The code itself nominally describes a single dried vegetable product, but the sourced opportunities reveal that state and local buying under this classification encompasses institutional dried legumes and broader food-supply fulfillment for correctional facilities, school districts, and other state agencies. Issuing bodies include state purchasing offices (Georgia, Oregon, Illinois), state correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Correctional Industries, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal entities (City of Edinburg, Texas). The work is transactional and commodity-focused: suppliers bid on fixed specifications, quantities measured in pounds or bags, all-inclusive pricing with freight included, and FOB delivery to state warehouses or institutional distribution centers.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, with a 10% combined Oregon-fabrication and Oregon-headquarter preference and historical pricing at $0.493 per pound. Georgia Correctional Industries requested kidney beans in increments of 880 bags, due October 9, 2026, as an RFQ. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with an extended response due date of May 4, 2026, covering 382 line items including proteins, dairy, and grains delivered FOB to six distribution points. The City of Edinburg, Texas, released an RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal items serving 400 children daily, due August 4, 2026, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 applied to bids within 5% of the lowest price. The code shows no standout repeat buyers or geographic concentration; activity appears sporadic and split across state corrections procurement, state purchasing divisions, and municipal food service. The sourcing of shallots specifically under this code is not evidenced in recent opportunities.
