UNSPSC 50455905: Frozen organic golden gourmet shallots

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

UNSPSC 50455905 Frozen organic golden gourmet shallots is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty produce items, though the recent solicitation activity under this code shows that state and local governments are buying food products in bulk across far broader categories than the code's nominal name suggests. The three recent opportunities posted since May 2026 reveal that counties, school districts, and state agencies are sourcing shelf-stable proteins, canned goods, fresh produce, dairy, and branded food-service staples through informal quotes, competitive bids, and line-by-line solicitations to support senior services, school meal programs, and institutional food service. The issuing-body mix includes county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state-level procurement (State of Georgia), and independent school districts (Early County Board of Education), with delivery and compliance requirements varying by buyer type but consistently emphasizing domestic sourcing, USDA compliance, temperature control for perishables, and vendor insurance and debarment verification.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and pasta with a response deadline of October 19, 2026 and delivery required by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date, with full scope and pricing in the attached solicitation document. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line bid for approximately 300+ food items and 60+ non-food and cleaning supplies supporting school meal programs, with bids due June 8, 2026 and contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, requiring vendors to comply with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, E-Verify, and $500,000 general liability insurance. The code shows substantial recent activity but primarily as a catch-all tag for bulk food procurement rather than as a driver of specialty frozen organic shallot sourcing specifically.
