UNSPSC 50455900: Frozen organic shallots

The type of organic vegetable known as organic shallots that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50455900 Frozen organic shallots, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities solicited under this code are broad food-service procurements—fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, eggs, and food distribution services—typical of school nutrition programs and state institutional food operations, not specialty frozen produce items. The code's nominal scope (frozen organic shallots as a discrete commodity) appears disconnected from the actual work state and local governments are buying at present.

The recent opportunities show substantial activity across school districts and state agencies in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri, all seeking multiple food categories and vendors to support child nutrition and institutional food service. Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) have each posted RFPs or IFBs for food products with response dates ranging from February through June 2026. These solicitations encompass dozens to hundreds of line items covering produce, dairy, meats, grains, frozen items, and supplies—awarded on a line-item or lot basis to multiple vendors, often through cooperative purchasing vehicles like the GEC Buying Cooperative. Representative procurements include Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (estimated annual expenditure approximately $9 million, due February 18, 2026) and RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (estimated annual spending approximately $4.4 million for Area One, due March 4, 2026). However, the concentration of frozen-organic-shallots-specific solicitations is minimal to nonexistent in the available opportunities, suggesting this code sees limited targeting for niche specialty produce procurement within state and local procurement channels right now.
