UNSPSC 50435908: Dried organic pikant shallots

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

UNSPSC 50435908 Dried organic pikant shallots is a Commodity code that shows minimal direct match with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific specialty ingredient — dried pikant shallots — yet the recent opportunities posted under or near this code actually solicit dried beans (kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans), institutional food supplies, and CACFP meal-program components. Georgia Correctional Industries, the State of Oregon, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the City of Edinburg (Texas), and the State of Illinois have all posted recent solicitations for dried legumes and bulk institutional food supplies, but none of these opportunities reference pikant shallots or close specialty aromatics. State and local procurement bodies purchasing dried goods for correctional facilities, educational institutions, and food-service programs do source commodity proteins and staples in high volume, but the recent record does not support active demand under this specific code.

The geographic spread of recent bean and bulk-food solicitations encompasses Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Illinois, with activity across state departments, correctional systems, and municipal food-service operations. The Oregon Department of Corrections bid for 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (extended to May 4, 2026) represent the largest institutional procurements in the recent set. Georgia Correctional Industries solicited kidney beans in 880-bag increments (due October 9, 2026), and the City of Edinburg issued an RFP for CACFP meal supplies including proteins, beverages, and paper goods serving 400 children daily (due August 4, 2026). No recent opportunities explicitly name dried pikant shallots or comparable specialty shallot products, suggesting the code either sees limited state and local demand or is underutilized by procurement offices tagging food and ingredient purchases.
