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 with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code's name refers to a specific frozen vegetable product (sante shallots), yet the opportunities posted under it reflect demand for a much broader range of frozen and fresh produce, grocery staples, and food service commodities across institutional and school nutrition settings. State and local buyers—primarily correctional facilities, school districts, and state health agencies—are soliciting frozen vegetables, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, breads, condiments, and miscellaneous food products through ITBs and IFBs, but few of these opportunities target shallots specifically. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, and various municipal and county purchasing offices issue these solicitations. The issuing bodies span state departments (corrections, health services), school districts serving elementary through high school populations, county correctional facilities, and municipal food service operations.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Midwest, with Oregon, Texas, and Georgia posting the highest volume of frozen-vegetable and broad-grocery solicitations in the past six months. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen corn (due July 24, 2026, reference price $0.498 per pound), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide including 210 line items across frozen, fresh, and dry goods (maximum contract value $4.5 million over three years), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 spanning 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026), and multiple Georgia school-district food bids (Ben Hill County Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur) each seeking hundreds of line items across frozen, canned, and fresh produce for July 2026 start dates. The code shows no recent solicitations specifically for frozen sante shallots; vendors pursuing this code should expect to bid on mixed frozen-vegetable assortments, bulk commodity vegetables for institutional food service, and integrated grocery catalogs rather than specialty shallot products.
