UNSPSC 50595903: Dried Non GMO drittler white nest shallots

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO drittler white nest shallots that have been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50595903 Dried Non GMO Drittler White Nest Shallots is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specific agricultural product, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the code's literal scope. The opportunities posted under this UNSPSC span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service procurement across multiple states, encompassing comprehensive grocery supply, fresh produce, prepared meals, and food service distribution — categories far broader than dried shallots alone. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of school nutrition and food service solicitations at the Commodity level, or the code functions as a catch-all for food procurement across institutional buyers without strict product-level enforcement. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), city government (City of Bridgeport in Connecticut and City of Dallas in Texas), and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and State of Georgia).

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with solicitations in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Virginia, Mississippi, Texas, and Georgia appearing multiple times. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (April 27, 2026 response deadline) covering 45 school sites and distribution kitchens across Virginia with weekly delivery cycles; Bulloch County Board of Education's comprehensive School Nutrition Grocery Bid IFB (May 4, 2026 deadline) spanning food products, equipment, and supplies for 14 school sites; Meriden Public Schools' RFP 026-41 for commercial groceries, beverages, and USDA Foods across 13 school sites in Connecticut (February 25, 2026 deadline, anticipated contract value approximately $3.1 million); and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million (February 18, 2026 deadline). School district and institutional food service procurement under this code involves Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, nutritional standard adherence, multi-site delivery logistics, and firm fixed pricing — indicating substantial recurring demand from educational and social-service operators, though the code's actual relationship to dried shallots remains unclear from the procurement activity itself.
