UNSPSC 50475906: Canned or jarred organic grise de bagnolet shallots

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

UNSPSC 50475906, Canned or jarred organic grise de bagnolet shallots, is a Commodity code that describes a narrowly specific preserved vegetable product, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent solicitations matching the nominal scope. The most recent opportunities posted under this code actually solicit broad categories of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service — including canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, frozen entrees, fresh produce, and related kitchen consumables — rather than specialty preserved shallot varieties. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies operating state supported living centers and state hospitals, county and municipal governments managing school nutrition programs, state departments of corrections, and other institutional food-service operations across multiple states. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and school districts in Georgia account for the largest share of recent activity, with Texas agencies posting multiple solicitations for supplemental food and consumables covering 200-plus line items across both state hospitals and supported living centers.

Geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with isolated opportunities in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with annual quantities from 1 to 24 cases per item; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products, due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' procurement for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase reference at $13.75 per case; and Burke County Public Schools' comprehensive school nutrition food bid covering nearly 400 line items across five schools, bids due June 5, 2026. The code shows activity concentrated in bulk food-service supply contracts rather than specialty preserved vegetables, and vendors bidding here typically face standing requirements for three verifiable references, proof of compliance with federal food safety standards, HACCP plans, E-Verify certification, comprehensive general liability insurance (commonly $500,000 per occurrence minimum), and firm fixed pricing with delivery within 7 to 30 days of order receipt on FOB Destination terms.
