UNSPSC 50445902: Frozen creation shallots

The variety of shallots known as creation shallots that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50445902 Frozen creation shallots is a Commodity code with limited recent procurement activity under this specific designation. The code's name does not align with the actual goods being solicited by state and local buyers, which focus instead on frozen vegetable commodities including corn, carrots, assorted blends, potatoes, and mixed vegetables. State and local procurement offices use frozen-vegetable codes to source ingredients for institutional food service — correctional facilities, state hospitals, school districts, and supported living centers — with bids structured around volume commitments, firm unit pricing, quality compliance (FDA/USDA Grade A or B standards, HACCP, food recall capability), and delivery on FOB Destination terms to central warehouses or multiple school sites. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, school districts (independent and county boards of education), and county facilities, with significant repeat activity from the Oregon Department of Corrections and multiple Georgia school districts.

Recent solicitations cluster in a handful of states. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs since February 2026 for frozen carrots, assorted-blend vegetables, and mixed-vegetable items, with bids due March through July 2026 and a 5–10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and in-state bidders. Texas state agencies — TDCJ, HHSC, and the Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ — have solicited cafeteria food products and supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and correctional facilities, with response deadlines in February through May 2026. Georgia school districts (Bulloch County, Burke County, Decatur City Schools, Early County, and Savannah-Chatham County) and Pennsylvania's Montgomery County Correctional Facility have issued multiple grocery and food-product bids covering frozen and fresh produce. Illinois and New Jersey posted limited activity. Pricing on recent awards ranges from $0.30 to $0.69 per pound depending on product type and case size, with incumbent vendors including Alpine Food, JNS Foods, and National Food Group. No set-asides specific to this code are standard, though Oregon applies statewide vendor preferences and some school districts encourage small-business and minority-owned-business participation. The code shows no decision-relevant activity in frozen shallots specifically; buyers pursuing institutional frozen-vegetable supply should align with the actual commodity codes under which solicitations appear.
