UNSPSC 50425905: Dried golden gourmet shallots

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

UNSPSC 50425905 Dried golden gourmet shallots, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block returns one directly related solicitation—an Oregon Department of Corrections bid for dried pinto and red beans—alongside five additional procurements for kidney beans, black beans, and mixed food and kitchen products that fall outside the shallot category. State and local governments buying under codes near this one are acquiring staple dried legumes and bulk food supplies for correctional facilities, school meal programs, and institutional food service, with packaging and delivery specifications tailored to high-volume institutional cooking and meal preparation.

The issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Correctional Industries), state purchasing offices coordinating on behalf of criminal-justice agencies (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state food-procurement offices (Georgia), and municipal governments (City of Edinburg, Texas). Geographic activity centers on Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois. The most directly relevant recent opportunity is the Oregon Department of Corrections RFQ S2910000017705 for dried black beans, triple-cleaned, with bids due August 21, 2026, and a companion ODOC solicitation (S2910000017140) for approximately 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans, due June 19, 2026, with a 10% Oregon-preference factor applied to evaluation. The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse regions (response deadline May 4, 2026) and Georgia Correctional Industries' eRFQ for kidney beans (due October 9, 2026) demonstrate state reliance on bundled commodity food procurement for high-volume institutional meal service, but the code itself—shallots specifically—appears dormant in recent state and local postings.
