UNSPSC 50443508: Frozen indian eggplants

The variety of eggplants known as indian eggplants that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443508 Frozen Indian Eggplants is a Commodity code with virtually no recent state or local procurement activity under its nominal scope. The code's name specifies a single produce item—frozen Indian eggplants—yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for that product. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code involve procurement of broad frozen vegetable assortments, fresh produce, grocery staples, and food service supplies for correctional facilities, school districts, and state health agencies. The mismatch between the code's narrow definition and the breadth of the opportunities suggests either misclassification during RFP tagging or that state and local buyers rarely isolate Indian eggplants as a line item separate from larger frozen-vegetable bundles or commodity groupings.

State and local food procurement activity overall—visible across the broader opportunity set—centers on institutional meal service: the Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables (corn, potatoes, and assorted blends) with response dates in June and July 2026; school districts across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia are actively soliciting comprehensive food service contracts (produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods) for July 2026 through June 2027 school-year delivery; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued IFBs for supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. The issuing bodies span state departments, county and city school systems, county correctional facilities, and state health authorities. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and the mid-Atlantic, with scattered procurement from Illinois, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. If your firm pursues frozen vegetable supply to institutional food service, the code's broader family context (frozen vegetables generally) offers real opportunity; pursuit of the specific commodity (frozen Indian eggplants) lacks recent pipeline support.
