UNSPSC 50475901: Canned or jarred organic atlantic shallots

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

UNSPSC 50475901 Canned or jarred organic atlantic shallots is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct procurement activity for this specific product. The code nominally addresses a narrow input—preserved shallots in jarred or canned form, certified organic—yet the recent solicitations tagged under it actually cover broad institutional food service procurement spanning proteins, vegetables, dairy, grains, condiments, and consumable supplies for state facilities, schools, and corrections departments. Shallots, organic or conventional, appear rarely if at all as line items in these bids; the code assignment appears misaligned with the work actually being solicited. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple state-supported living centers and state hospitals), Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state facilities, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These are primarily state health and human services agencies, correctional systems, county social services departments, and school nutrition programs.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include IFB HHS0018082 from Texas Health and Human Services Commission (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumable foods, bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's informal written quote IWQ 140229 for shelf-stable food items for Community Services (quotes due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomatoes bid S2910000017145 (approximately 7,616 cases, bids due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST). Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools (both Georgia) issued comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity; buyers pursuing this commodity should monitor broader institutional food service RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs from state agencies and school districts rather than expect direct shallot-specific solicitations.
