UNSPSC 50435901: Dried organic atlantic shallots

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

UNSPSC 50435901 Dried organic atlantic shallots is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are sourcing food products for institutional meal programs — school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition services — where dried shallots appear as a minor ingredient within broader grocery and food-supply solicitations rather than as a standalone line item. The recent opportunities show no dedicated procurements for dried shallots specifically; instead, the code surfaces within large food-supply buys where shallots would be listed as one of dozens or hundreds of produce, grain, or specialty items. The issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, Douglas County in Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state procurement offices (Georgia, Illinois), and city/municipal nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with procurement flowing through district-level food service offices or cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026, estimated spend $5.5 million annually), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (IFB posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery items covering over 900 line items (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB covering 382 line items across five warehouse locations (posted May 4, 2026, extended to May 4, 2026), and the City of Edinburg CACFP Meal Program for approximately 400 children daily (RFP posted July 16, 2026, due August 4, 2026). Dried shallots, if sourced at all, would compete as a component input within these large, price-driven institutional food buys rather than as a differentiated product category.
