UNSPSC 50485902: Creation shallot purees

The variety of shallots known as creation shallots which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485902 Creation shallot purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this category designation. The recent solicitations tagged with this code are food-service procurement opportunities for institutional canteens, cafeterias, and food service operations at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and senior services centers. The actual purchases span prepared and shelf-stable food products, frozen entrees, proteins, dairy, produce, condiments, and food-service consumables and supplies—not shallot purees specifically. The issuing bodies are diverse: state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and school district nutrition programs across multiple states. Texas agencies appear as repeat buyers, with multiple solicitations from HHSC for state supported living centers and the Comptroller's office on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with additional solicitations from Illinois and references to broader multi-state institutional networks. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitation HHS0018082 (IFB, due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods and food-service supplies at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicitation PE77023NONST2027000000782 (IWQ, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services; Burke County Public Schools solicitation PE55037NONST2027000000007 (sealed bid, due June 5, 2026) for nearly 400 line items of grocery and prepared food products across five schools for the 2026-2027 school year; and the Oregon Department of Corrections solicitation S2910000017145 (bid, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated preferences. The code shows active recent procurement across food-service supply chains for public institutions, though the commodity designation itself does not align with the breadth of products currently being solicited.
