UNSPSC 50475905: Canned or jarred organic golden gourmet shallots

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

UNSPSC 50475905 Canned or jarred organic golden gourmet shallots is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product category rarely appearing in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract name does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying under broader food-procurement notices that encompass this commodity. Recent solicitations tagged to this code are general food-supply contracts for institutional food service — cafeterias, dining facilities, and canteen operations at correctional facilities, schools, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and county social-service programs — rather than targeted procurements for organic specialty produce. When this commodity does appear in scope, it is as one line item among dozens or hundreds of commodity-level food products (proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, canned vegetables, condiments, and supplies) bundled into institutional feeding contracts, not as a standalone procurement.

State agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and independent school nutrition programs are the issuing bodies. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon in the recent record, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing most frequently across multiple state supported living center and state hospital food-supply contracts. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomatoes procurement of 7,616 cases (bids due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food-bid IFB for school nutrition (bids due June 15, 2026). None of the recent opportunities explicitly solicits canned or jarred organic golden gourmet shallots as a distinct line item or requirement; the code shows minimal targeted activity and does not support a standalone business line in state and local procurement.
