UNSPSC 50465904: Canned or jarred giant yellow improved shallots

The variety of shallots known as giant yellow improved shallots that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465904 Canned or jarred giant yellow improved shallots is a Commodity code reflecting a narrow, specialized product line within state and local food procurement, though recent solicitations show minimal direct activity for this specific item. State and local governments purchase canned and jarred vegetables as components of broader food service contracts—primarily through school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies. The issuing bodies span school nutrition programs (elementary through high schools), state departments of corrections, state health agencies serving state hospitals and supported living centers, and state veterans' homes. These jurisdictions typically buy canned vegetables as part of larger commodity food procurements rather than in discrete, item-level solicitations.

The available recent opportunities show no direct solicitation for giant yellow improved shallots by UNSPSC code. Instead, the code appears tagged to general food procurement notices from Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017449, posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026), the State of Illinois Veterans Home (27497DVAQUINCB52821, posted June 18, 2026, due June 26, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (304T26300CF, posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections (S2910000015837, posted January 26, 2026, due February 9, 2026), and multiple school districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia. The pattern indicates this code is applied as a catch-all within broader food and consumable categories rather than as a targeted procurement vehicle. Recent activity clusters in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, where school nutrition programs and state facility food services dominate. Business development professionals should treat this code as a tagging artifact within larger commodity food contracts; vendors of canned shallots or specialty canned vegetables would compete in multi-item food service RFPs and IFBs, not standalone solicitations at this commodity level.
