UNSPSC 50445905: Frozen golden gourmet shallots

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

UNSPSC 50445905 Frozen golden gourmet shallots is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's narrow product scope—premium shallot varieties in frozen form—does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities posted under this code, which span broad frozen vegetable categories, comprehensive grocery procurement for correctional facilities and school districts, and food service distribution contracts. Recent opportunities tagged under UNSPSC 50445905 actually solicit frozen corn, mixed vegetables, assorted vegetable blends, carrots, potatoes, and comprehensive grocery line items spanning hundreds of products, none of which represent the specialized gourmet shallot product the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas), school districts (across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Illinois), counties (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; Savannah-Chatham, Georgia; Douglas County, Georgia), and transit or city procurement offices (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Decatur, Georgia). Geographic activity is dispersed across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, with no concentration in any single region.

The procurement activity actually reflects bulk frozen vegetable supply and institutional food service contracting rather than premium shallot sourcing. Oregon Department of Corrections posted multiple ITBs for frozen corn, assorted vegetables, and carrots in July 2026 and prior months; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited frozen food and commodity products in the $1.5 million to $4.5 million range; and school districts from Fairfax County, Virginia to Bulloch County, Georgia issued RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive grocery and produce contracts spanning hundreds of line items. The mismatch between the code's nominal product and the actual procurement volume, buyer types, and commodity scope suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this UNSPSC code is not actively used for its stated purpose in the current market. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether opportunities are genuinely seeking frozen gourmet shallots or whether the broad frozen vegetable and grocery categories are the true procurement driver.
