UNSPSC 50465905: Canned or jarred golden gourmet shallots

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

UNSPSC 50465905 Canned or jarred golden gourmet shallots is a Commodity code that covers specialty jarred and canned shallot products for institutional food service. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through health and human services agencies, state-supported living centers, school districts, and correctional facilities for use in institutional canteen, kitchen, and food service operations. The work is administrative procurement of shelf-stable specialty produce items bundled into larger consumables solicitations alongside proteins, dairy, frozen goods, condiments, and food service supplies. Issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners managing senior services and community programs, school nutrition authorities, and special-purpose state institutions such as supported living centers. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for consumable food and kitchen products for state-supported living centers and state hospitals statewide.
