UNSPSC 50465902: Canned or jarred creation shallots

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

UNSPSC 50465902 Canned or jarred creation shallots is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within state and local food procurement — but recent solicitations tagged with this code show minimal direct purchasing activity for shallots specifically. The code appears in a dataset dominated by broad school nutrition and institutional food service solicitations, nearly all of which cover dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, canned goods, condiments, and prepared foods rather than a single ingredient. State and local food procurement under codes adjacent to this one is driven by school districts, state institutional facilities (correctional centers, veterans homes, health and human services operations), and county educational systems, each conducting annual or quarterly competitive bidding for staple groceries. Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, multiple Georgia school districts, and Missouri school districts dominate recent activity, soliciting through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB vehicles with response dates ranging from late February through late June 2026.

The recent opportunities show that canned goods (tomatoes, tomato paste, and mixed grocery items including condiments and seasonings) are solicited in volume — Oregon Department of Corrections sought 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes and 1,904 cases of tomato paste in separate bids; Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured 210 line items including canned goods for statewide hospital and supported living center operations with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; and Georgia and Missouri school districts routinely bid grocery bundles encompassing dozens of canned items. However, no recent solicitation identified in the source explicitly names canned shallots as a line item or primary focus. The code's relevance depends on whether shallots appear as a minor component within broader institutional food service RFPs — a possibility the source does not confirm. If your firm supplies specialty canned vegetables or institutional food ingredients, monitor school nutrition and corrections facility solicitations in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Illinois for embedded line-item opportunities; the activity volume is substantial, but commodity-level specificity for shallots alone is not evident in current postings.
