UNSPSC 50445900: Frozen shallots

The type of vegetable known as shallots that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50445900 Frozen shallots is a Class code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source data. The opportunities posted under or adjacent to this code show no frozen shallots purchases; instead, they document substantial and recurring demand for broad frozen vegetable assortments, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery procurement supporting institutional food service across correctional facilities, school districts, and state health agencies. State and local governments are actively buying frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, frozen corn, frozen assorted blends, and fresh produce—the operational building blocks of institutional nutrition programs—but frozen shallots do not appear as a line item or standalone purchase category in any of the recent solicitations reviewed.

The issuing bodies span state correctional departments (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ, Texas HHSC), school districts and boards of education (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Schools, Rockwood School District, Douglas County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Dallas ISD), county health and human services facilities (Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania), and cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Oregon DOC and Texas correctional and health agencies post the most frequent solicitations for frozen vegetables and produce. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Connecticut, with additional activity in Illinois, New Jersey, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn (S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and living centers (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), and the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (PE77310NONST2026000000018, due May 15, 2026). No active procurement signal supports pursuing frozen shallots as a discrete commodity under this code; vendor activity should track frozen vegetable and produce codes that align with demonstrated institutional demand.
