UNSPSC 50443500: Frozen eggplants

The type of vegetable known as eggplants that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443500 Frozen eggplants, a Class code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source contains seventeen recent opportunities posted between January and July 2026, but none specifically solicit frozen eggplants; instead, they target frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, fresh produce, comprehensive grocery items, and food service supplies. One Oregon Department of Corrections solicitation (S2910000017451, posted July 10, 2026) names "Vegetables Frozen, Corn" in its title but represents procurement of frozen corn, not eggplants. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual goods being purchased across all documented opportunities suggests this code does not reflect current state and local procurement practice for frozen eggplants.

State and local buyers active in frozen vegetables and food procurement span correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Montgomery County Pennsylvania), school districts (Fairfax County Virginia, Bulloch County Georgia, Burke County Georgia, Rockwood R-VI Missouri, Douglas County Georgia, and others), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs dominating the volume. Recent opportunities show ITB and IFB notice types with response dates typically two to four weeks from posting, firm fixed pricing requirements, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with Buy American provisions and HACCP standards. No evidence supports that frozen eggplants represent a discrete procurement opportunity within this activity stream.
