UNSPSC 50445903: Frozen drittler white nest shallots

The variety of shallots known as drittler white nest shallots that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50445903 Frozen drittler white nest shallots is a Commodity code that describes a narrow frozen vegetable product line, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no solicitations for frozen shallots of any variety. Instead, the tagged opportunities overwhelmingly reflect procurement for frozen corn, frozen potatoes (french fries, wedges, tater tots), frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, assorted blends, broccoli, cauliflower, peas), and broad grocery and food-service supplies spanning proteins, dairy, condiments, and prepared entrees. The code's nominal scope does not align with actual recent buying activity, which centers on mainstream frozen vegetables and institutional food-service procurement rather than specialty frozen shallots.

State and local food-service buyers — including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts across Georgia (Ben Hill County, Bulloch County, Early County, Burke County, Savannah-Chatham), Pennsylvania counties (Montgomery County), Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI), and city and regional school systems (Bridgeport, Decatur, Fairfax County, Dallas ISD) — issue ITBs, RFPs, and IFBs for frozen vegetables and groceries on a regular basis, typically tied to fiscal-year meal programs. Recent opportunities span January 2026 through July 2026, with response dates clustered around April through July. The Oregon Department of Corrections, in particular, appears as a repeat buyer of frozen vegetables under multiple ITBs (carrots, assorted blends, corn, potatoes) posted between February and July 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Pennsylvania) and Southwest (Texas, Oregon), with school nutrition programs and correctional facilities driving the majority of volume. Because recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect frozen shallot procurement, the code shows little decision-relevant activity for vendors targeting the stated commodity; pursuing opportunities listed here would require product-line pivots away from the code's nominal scope.
