UNSPSC 50455901: Frozen organic atlantic shallots

The variety of organic shallots known as organic atlantic shallots that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50455901 Frozen organic atlantic shallots, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, though recent solicitations under this specific code show little direct activity targeting frozen organic shallots. State and local procurement offices classify food products — including produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples — under this and related commodity codes when issuing competitive bids for institutional food service. The issuing bodies soliciting under related food-procurement codes include county commissioners' offices, state procurement departments, and school district boards of education, each managing food inventories for different service populations: county senior centers, state institutional facilities, and school lunch programs. Recent opportunities underscore the prevalence of line-item competitive bidding in food procurement, where jurisdictions solicit quotes or bids for dozens or hundreds of individual SKUs with specific brand preferences, compliance certifications, and delivery windows.

The most recent activity clusters in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) on October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026, requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, including canned proteins, vegetables, and pantry staples for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, encompassing 300+ food items across proteins, produce, dairy, and grains for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations. The early-county contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with options to extend and renew. State and local food procurement typically awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, requires compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, and E-Verify when applicable, and allows school districts to piggyback successful bids across multiple vendors.
