UNSPSC 50465901: Canned or jarred atlantic shallots

The variety of shallots known as atlantic shallots that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465901 Canned or jarred atlantic shallots (Commodity) appears infrequently in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting shallots; the code's presence in procurement activity is not supported by current records. Recent postings tagged under food-service categories soliciting by state corrections, health and human services, county and school nutrition programs, and municipal agencies overwhelmingly focus on staple canned vegetables (tomatoes, beans, assorted mixed vegetables), proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared foods rather than specialty items like atlantic shallots. When shallots appear at all in institutional food service, they are typically embedded as line items within broader consumables RFPs or IFBs rather than targeted as standalone procurements.

Institutional food buyers in state health and human services agencies, county school districts, and state corrections systems are the primary purchasers of canned goods under related UNSPSC codes. Opportunities are spread across Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois (state agency). Representative recent procurements include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' school nutrition food bid (due June 15, 2026). Activity is concentrated in large-volume institutional replenishment cycles—typically annual or quarterly contracts supporting kitchens, dining facilities, and canteens. Unless pursuing a specialized niche supplying shallots as a minor line item within broader food service contracts, the code itself offers limited standalone opportunity.
