UNSPSC 50425908: Dried pikant shallots

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

UNSPSC 50425908 Dried pikant shallots is a Commodity code that does not map meaningfully to recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains 13 recent state and local solicitations, none of which specifically procure dried pikant shallots or closely related specialty produce items. The active opportunities span broad food-service categories—school nutrition programs (grocery items, fresh produce, eggs), correctional-facility food supply (dried beans, cafeteria products), and child care meal programs—but none reference dried shallots as a line item, brand alternative, or specification variant.

The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ, Illinois, Georgia), school districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Fairfax County Public Schools Virginia; Rockwood R-VI Missouri; Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County Georgia school systems), municipalities (City of Edinburg Texas), and Boys & Girls Clubs. The geographic spread spans Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (ITB S2910000016233, due March 20, 2026) at $0.43 per pound incumbent pricing; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF via Texas Comptroller, extended to May 4, 2026) spanning 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and staples; and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) serving 45 schools plus distribution centers. The code shows no current demand signal for dried pikant shallots within state and local procurement pipelines.
