UNSPSC 50465908: Canned or jarred pikant shallots

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

UNSPSC 50465908 Canned or jarred pikant shallots is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line that state and local governments procure as an ingredient or component within larger food service operations — school nutrition programs, state institutions, and correctional facilities — rather than as a standalone item. Recent state and local solicitations under or near this code show strong activity in institutional food procurement, though opportunities explicitly mentioning pikant shallots or equivalent specialty condiments are sparse; instead, the code appears embedded within broader canned-goods and food-supply categories that school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional departments use to organize their ingredient and consumables purchases. Issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Burke County and Liberty County in Georgia, Muscogee County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Ben Hill County in Georgia, and Douglas County in Georgia), state health and social-service agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers, Illinois Veterans Home), and correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice). These jurisdictions procure food products in bulk under annual or multi-year term contracts, typically through IFB or RFP vehicles, with evaluation focused on lowest responsive bid, price competitiveness against market indices, and vendor capability to meet delivery and quality standards.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and West, with substantial recent solicitation volume from Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), Texas state agencies (HHSC, TDCJ, Comptroller), Oregon corrections, and Midwestern school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Douglas County collaborative spanning 30 Georgia districts). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (Jun 11, 2026, due Jul 13, 2026) for food and consumables serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 (Jun 5, 2026, due Jun 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at FOB Destination with historical pricing of $13.75 per case; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for food products (May 19, 2026, due Jun 15, 2026) with Buy American requirements and multi-location delivery; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 (Apr 6, 2026, due Apr 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 spanning 45 schools and distribution centers; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 (Jan 21, 2026, due Feb 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution with an estimated annual value of $9 million across 32 schools. Most solicitations mandate firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods, Buy American compliance, HACCP and food safety certifications, and delivery to multiple school or facility locations within defined weekly or monthly windows, with price adjustments permitted only at renewal or indexed to USDA or CPI metrics.
