UNSPSC 50465911: Canned or jarred topper shallots

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

UNSPSC 50465911 Canned or jarred topper shallots is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable vegetable products for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block shows this specific code seeing minimal recent activity directly aligned with its narrow scope. State and local governments buying under this code include state health and human services agencies operating state supported living centers and state hospitals, county boards of commissioners purchasing for senior services, school districts procuring for nutrition programs, state departments of corrections, and state comptroller offices procuring on behalf of correctional agencies. The work spans weekly and quarterly food supply contracts for institutional canteens, campus dining, school cafeterias, and correctional facilities, typically bundled with dozens or hundreds of other food line items rather than shallots in isolation. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid for the school nutrition program (due June 15, 2026). These are typically IFB or RFQ notices with response windows of two to four weeks.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas showing the highest frequency of recent solicitations from HHSC and the state comptroller's office. Texas Health and Human Services issued multiple food service bids in the June–August 2026 window, including contracts with maximum potential values reaching $4.5 million over three-year terms with renewal options. Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and Gwinnett County issued food bids in May and June 2026. Oregon's Department of Corrections and an unspecified Oregon agency each posted produce-related solicitations in June and July 2026 with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences. The code itself shows little direct recent activity for canned or jarred shallots as a standalone line item; vendors pursuing this commodity should monitor institutional food service aggregated bids where produce and condiments appear as part of broader meal-support contracts, particularly in state-operated living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs in Texas, Georgia, and the Pacific Northwest.
