UNSPSC 50485900: Shallot purees

The type of vegetable known as shallots which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485900 Shallot purees, a Class code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. Recent solicitations posted under this code cover broad consumable and prepared-food procurement — including canned tomatoes, fresh potatoes, shelf-stable dry goods, proteins, dairy, frozen specialty foods, and food service supplies — for state institutions, school districts, and county facilities. The code's nominal scope (shallot purees as a specific commodity) bears no relationship to the actual work being solicited. State and local buying bodies issuing under this code include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple state supported living centers and state hospitals), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia and Georgia county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, and the Illinois state procurement office. These are institutional food-service buyers rather than specialty-produce vendors or processors.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas leads with multiple large-scope solicitations: HHS0017449 from the Health and Human Services Commission for El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026, with $1.5 million historical annual value); HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (IFB posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026); and HHS0017872 (IFB posted August 11, 2026). Georgia shows activity from Gwinnett County (informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods, posted October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026), Burke County Public Schools (sealed bid for roughly 400 line items posted May 11, 2026, due June 5, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools (IFB posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections issued a canned-tomato procurement (7,616 cases, posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity — the mismatch between the code's nominal commodity scope and the actual solicitations reflects a tagging or data-quality issue rather than genuine market demand for shallot purees at the state and local level.
