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, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code solicit dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and multi-category food and kitchen products for institutional meal programs and correctional facilities — none of which are dried shallots or organic produce specifications. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement systems may be applying this code to institutional food procurement broadly rather than to the specific commodity named.

The tagged opportunities span Georgia Correctional Industries (kidney beans, 880-bag increments, due October 9, 2026); the City of Edinburg, Texas (CACFP meal program beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial and nonfood items for 400 children daily, RFP, due August 11, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections (approximately 42,500 pounds of pinto and red beans, triple-cleaned, due June 19, 2026); the State of Oregon (dried black beans, triple-cleaned, due August 21, 2026); the State of Illinois (quarterly weekly food orders, due June 26, 2026); the State of Georgia (food, supplies, and kitchen products, due June 22, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (multi-category cafeteria food products across five warehouse locations, IFB extended to May 4, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with opportunistic procurement from state correctional and food-service agencies. Firms pursuing this code should verify the actual commodity match before responding, as the code's application appears inconsistent with recent demand signals.
