UNSPSC 50435906: Dried organic grise de bagnolet shallots

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

UNSPSC 50435906 Dried organic grise de bagnolet shallots (Commodity) shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve dried beans—kidney beans, black beans, and pinto and red beans—procured by Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Oregon, the State of Illinois, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, along with broader institutional food supply contracts from the City of Edinburg, Texas and the State of Georgia. None of these solicitations target shallots or shallot products. The code appears to be a misclassification or tagging error in the state and local procurement systems; the actual buying activity spans dried legumes and bulk food commodities for correctional institutions, state agencies, and municipal meal programs.

Issuing bodies are predominantly state-level purchasing offices and departments of corrections across Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas, with subordinate municipal participation from the City of Edinburg. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 RFQ for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans due June 19, 2026 (with a 10% Oregon-origin preference and FOB delivery to Salem), Georgia Correctional Industries' October 2026 RFQ for kidney beans in 880-bag increments due October 9, 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items with delivery to six distribution points, extended to May 4, 2026. The City of Edinburg's August 2026 RFP for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal supplies (beverages, proteins, paper goods, janitorial supplies) demonstrates municipal participation in commodity food procurement with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. If procurement interest aligns with institutional dried-goods supply chains rather than specialty shallot products, this code warrants evaluation; if your firm serves the narrow shallot niche, the code does not reflect current state and local buying patterns.
