UNSPSC 50465900: Canned or jarred shallots

The type of vegetable known as shallots that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465900 Canned or jarred shallots is a Class code that describes preserved vegetable products state and local governments procure as ingredient items within larger food service and nutrition supply contracts, typically alongside canned proteins, vegetables, and condiments rather than as standalone specialty purchases. The code sees limited standalone solicitation activity; shallots appear most often as line items embedded in broader consumable-food procurements for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and state facility cafeterias. Issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies (particularly Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county and school nutrition programs (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state-supported living centers. School districts and state facility food services drive the most visible recent activity, procuring multi-category food bundles where shallots or similar preserved condiments and vegetables appear as minor line items in comprehensive nutrition supply contracts.

Recent opportunities show shallots embedded in larger food procurements rather than as discrete solicitations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with an estimated annual spend pattern; a related IFB HHS0017872 (August 25, 2026 closing) for fiscal year 2027 consumables at the same facility similarly bundled prepared foods and supplies across 20 line items. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited informal written quotes (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables and sauces to support Senior Services operations. Ben Hill County Schools posted an IFB (#26271, due June 15, 2026) covering hundreds of line items across fresh, frozen, and canned produce, proteins, dairy, seasonings, and condiments for a July 2026–June 2027 school year. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon; Texas shows the highest volume through recurring state facility food-service and state-supported living center procurements, while Georgia reflects school district nutrition procurement and Oregon corrections food supply activity. Responses are due within 7–20 days of posting. No recent opportunities name shallots as a primary procurement item or provide standalone pricing signals.
