UNSPSC 50455908: Frozen organic pikant shallots

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

UNSPSC 50455908 Frozen organic pikant shallots is a Commodity code that describes a narrow specialty produce item, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not actually procure frozen organic pikant shallots. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad food-service procurement across categories including fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, dairy, proteins, and specialty items for school nutrition programs and state operations. School districts and state agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia and extending to Missouri and Texas. The work involves sourcing food products for child nutrition services, school meal programs, and state facility operations, typically on annual contracts with firm pricing and delivery requirements to multiple school sites or central distribution points.
