UNSPSC 50435904: Dried organic giant yellow improved shallots

The variety of organic shallots known as organic giant yellow improved shallots that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50435904 Dried organic giant yellow improved shallots is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely solicit under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities associated with this code show no procurement activity for dried shallots; instead, they reflect broader food-service supply contracts spanning produce, grocery items, prepared entrees, dairy, and staple ingredients for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and child-care food services. The code designation appears misaligned with the actual goods being bought, which encompass the full range of institutional food supply rather than a single dried-vegetable item.

State and local procurement under the tagged opportunities spans school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), city child-nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas), state food-supply contracts (Georgia, Illinois), and multi-district cooperative purchasing (Douglas County School System via GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). Recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00016233 for 127,500 pounds of dried pinto beans (due March 20, 2026), Muscogee County School District's ITB 26-017 for fresh produce (due April 27, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for fresh produce (due April 23, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery-items RFP (due April 29, 2026 via NUTRIKIDS), and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution ($9 million estimated annual value, due February 18, 2026). Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, and Missouri with no evidence that this specific code carries meaningful procurement volume for its stated commodity.
