UNSPSC 50465910: Canned or jarred sante shallots

The variety of shallots known as sante shallots that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465910 Canned or jarred sante shallots is a Commodity code encompassing preserved shallot products that state and local governments procure as specialty food ingredients for institutional food service operations. Based on recent solicitation activity, the code represents a narrow, ingredient-level product within broader food procurement efforts: state and local buyers source canned shallots primarily as line items within comprehensive food supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services institutions, and veterans homes rather than as standalone procurements. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, school districts at the county and municipal level, and state-operated facilities such as veterans homes. School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple counties and municipalities issuing annual food service contracts that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items including preserved vegetables as condiments and flavor components for meal preparation. State-operated facilities—particularly the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Illinois Veterans Homes—also appear as repeat purchasers of preserved food products in quarterly or annual cycles.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in the Southeast and Texas, with recent solicitations from Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District), Texas institutions (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, TDCJ cafeteria procurement), and Oregon Department of Corrections facilities. The code shows limited standalone activity—no procurement targets canned shallots as a primary good. Representative opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' FY 26-27 food bid (IFB, June 15, 2026) encompassing seasonings and condiments among fresh and frozen categories, and Texas HHSC's HHS0017449 food and consumable products procurement for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB, July 13, 2026 response deadline) specifying NIGP commodity classes covering condiments and prepared-food ingredients. Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 solicitation (IFB 2000004323, April 27, 2026 response deadline) and Rockwood R-VI School District's dual grocery procurements (April 29, 2026 deadlines) also support the pattern: canned shallots appear as one line item among hundreds within category-spanning food supply contracts. The code does not surface as a distinct procurement focus in state or local markets; suppliers pursuing this commodity should position capabilities within broader institutional food service and ingredient supply offerings rather than expect standalone demand.
