The variety of shallots known as golden gourmet shallots which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50485905 Golden gourmet shallot purees is a Commodity code that captures specialized food ingredient procurement by state and local government food service operations, though recent opportunities tagged under this code do not focus on shallot purees specifically — instead they reflect the broader institutional food-procurement activity that subsumes this and other ingredient categories. State and local governments soliciting under or near this code are buying weekly and quarterly food orders, bulk grocery and produce supplies, fresh-produce contracts, and comprehensive food-service distribution for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and state agency dining operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Ben Hill County Schools, Muscogee County School District), state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Corrections), and county governments. School nutrition programs and institutional food service are the primary use case, followed by corrections and state healthcare facilities. Contracts typically span 12 months with renewal or extension options, require firm fixed pricing initially with allowances for midterm adjustments tied to manufacturer price increases or USDA market indices, and mandate Buy American compliance, HACCP planning, general liability insurance (ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), and federal debarment certification.

The code shows concentrated recent activity across the Southeast and mid-Atlantic, with Texas, Georgia, and Oregon driving multiple solicitations between January and June 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two supplemental food and consumable procurements (HHS0017449 and HHS0016792V2) with response deadlines of July 13, 2026 and March 19, 2026 respectively, each covering state hospitals and supported living centers statewide and valued at up to $1.5 million historical spend and $4.5 million potential over three years. Oregon Department of Corrections posted three bulk-commodity purchases for tomato paste (S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026), canned tomatoes (S2910000015837, due February 9, 2026, and S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026), using ITB and preferential pricing for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. Georgia school districts and the State of Georgia posted multiple RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, grocery items, and food supply-distribution contracts with response windows clustered in February through June 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with responses due April 27, 2026. Illinois Veterans Home issued two quarterly RFQs (26497DVAQUINCB51106 and 27497DVAQUINCB52821) for weekly food orders with response dates of February 24, 2026 and June 26, 2026. The code sees steady pipeline activity but does not appear to have standout repeat buyers beyond school nutrition programs, which dominate the issuing-body mix across all regions.
