UNSPSC 50625806: Non GMO grise de bagnolet shallot purees

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO grise de bagnolet shallots. 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 50625806 Non GMO grise de bagnolet shallot purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific shallot product, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little evidence of demand for the product itself. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve broad consumable-food and food-service-supply procurement for institutional cafeterias, canteens, and nutrition programs — including prepared foods, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, produce, condiments, and disposable service supplies — rather than specialty shallot purees. The issuing bodies span Texas state health and human services departments, Georgia and Oregon state agencies, county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), and Illinois state procurement. The mismatch between the code name and the scope of actual solicitations suggests either misclassification by issuing offices or that the code is rarely used as intended for this specific product line.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing repeatedly across multiple solicitations. Representative recent procurements include the Texas HHS IFB HHS0018082 for consumables and food service supplies at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), the Gwinnett County informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for community services (due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B standards with Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated-goods preferences (due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' food bid covering fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and supplies across four school locations for the 2026–2027 academic year (due June 15, 2026). Contract values reported in the source range from estimates of $1.5 million annually (Texas HHS El Paso facility) to $4.5 million over three years (Texas HHS supplemental food statewide). The code shows no recent activity for non-GMO grise de bagnolet shallot purees specifically; business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC commodity code for this product before pursuing state and local opportunities.
