UNSPSC 50495801: Organic atlantic shallot purees

The variety of organic shallots known as organic atlantic shallots which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50495801 Organic Atlantic Shallot Purees (Commodity) describes a narrow product line that state and local governments source as part of broader food-service procurement, though recent solicitations show no standalone demand for this specific item. State and local issuing bodies—primarily state health and human services agencies, county and school nutrition programs, and state corrections departments—procure food and consumable items through IFBs and informal written quotes (IWQs) targeting institutional cafeterias, canteens, food service operations, and supply centers. The work encompasses hundreds of line items per solicitation, mixing fresh, frozen, canned, and specialty prepared foods alongside food service supplies and kitchen consumables. Individual agencies typically source staple proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, baking supplies, and disposables in bulk quantities; organic or specialty produce purees occupy a marginal position within these comprehensive food-service contracts, if they appear at all.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with the heaviest current activity in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has posted multiple IFBs for state supported living centers (Lufkin and El Paso facilities) and a supplemental food contract serving state hospitals and centers statewide, with response dates in June, August, and October 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited shelf-stable food items in October 2026, while Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each posted comprehensive school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato IFB in June 2026. No recent opportunities specifically mention organic shallot purees or equivalent specialty vegetable purees; the code shows little relevant procurement activity under its nominal scope. Vendors pursuing this commodity should monitor broader institutional food-service RFPs and IFBs where specialty produce items might be added as line-item options, but activity under the commodity itself does not support immediate business development focus.
