UNSPSC 50445910: Frozen sante shallots

The variety of shallots known as sante shallots that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50445910 Frozen sante shallots is a Commodity code that in practice state and local governments do not procure under this designation. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with or near this code overwhelmingly target staple frozen and shelf-stable food products for institutional feeding—frozen corn, mixed vegetables, french fries, and potato products for correctional facilities and state hospitals; canned proteins, grains, sauces, and other shelf-stable items for senior services and school nutrition programs; and comprehensive cafeteria supplies spanning proteins, dairy, prepared entrees, and condiments. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, and school districts, with additional activity from county governments and county-level correctional facilities. The code itself names a narrow specialty product (sante shallots, a specific shallot variety) that does not appear in any of the recent opportunities examined.

Recent activity spans Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Connecticut, and New Jersey, with the heaviest concentration in Texas state institutions (HHSC, TDCJ, state-supported living centers, and state hospitals). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017338 for frozen food products across state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide (posted July 17, 2026; bids due August 18, 2026; approximately $9 million estimated annual volume), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017692 for 360,000 pounds of assorted frozen vegetables including broccoli, corn, and green beans (posted August 6, 2026; bids due August 20, 2026; FOB destination to Salem), and Burke County Public Schools' sealed-bid food procurement for five schools covering nearly 400 line items across fresh and frozen categories (posted May 11, 2026; bids due June 5, 2026). The code shows minimal actual procurement activity under its narrow commodity definition and warrants close review of actual customer requirements before positioning.
