UNSPSC 50425906: Dried grise de bagnolet shallots

The variety of shallots known as grise de bagnolet shallots that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425906 Dried grise de bagnolet shallots is a Commodity code that in practice covers institutional dried legumes and bulk food staples for state and local meal programs, correctional facilities, and educational institutions. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local governments buying dried beans (kidney, pinto, red, and black varieties) rather than the shallots the code nominally names—a mismatch that reflects how state procurement offices tag institutional food buys. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are the primary recent buyers, along with city and regional meal-service programs. These solicitations specify USDA grading, triple-cleaned product, bulk palletization, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with FDA and HACCP standards. Issuing bodies include state correctional and agricultural agencies, city procurement offices managing child and adult care food programs, and state institutional-purchasing divisions on behalf of educational or criminal-justice customers.

Activity clusters in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with Georgia, Oregon, and Texas posting multiple opportunities in the past five months. The Oregon Department of Corrections requested approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026, via OregonBuys with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-headquartered vendors and a historical price of $0.493 per pound; Georgia Correctional Industries posted an RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, requiring all-inclusive delivery pricing and electronic PDF submission; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with response extended to May 4, 2026. The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited CACFP meal-program supplies including proteins, beverages, paper goods, and janitorial items due August 4, 2026, with a local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 (within 5% of lowest bid). Illinois and the State of Oregon have also posted food-supply solicitations. Activity is steady across institutional and programmatic buyers, with regular quarterly or annual rebuys typical in this space.
