UNSPSC 50443512: Frozen long striped eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50443512 Frozen long striped eggplants is a Commodity code that sits at the narrowest tier of the taxonomy, but the recent state and local procurement record shows no current solicitations for this specific product. Instead, issuing bodies across the country are soliciting frozen vegetables more broadly—frozen corn, frozen potatoes (french fries and wedges), frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, and frozen assorted vegetable blends—indicating that while the narrow commodity classification exists, procurement activity concentrates on larger vegetable categories and bulk institutional food service supply. State and local governments buying under related frozen-vegetable codes are primarily correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Early County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, and City Schools of Decatur), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county facilities (Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania). The issuing bodies span state departments, county governments, municipal school districts, and independent school districts, with repeat procurement patterns in Oregon and Texas.

Geographic activity for frozen vegetables concentrates heavily in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, with additional activity in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitations for frozen corn (ITB S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026, via OregonBuys, priced at $0.498 per pound historically), frozen potatoes (ITB S2910000017439, due July 24, 2026, 120,000 pounds, $0.3811 per pound as of January 2026), and frozen assorted vegetables (ITBs posted April 8–9, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's bid for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0016792, maximum potential value $4,500,000 over three years, 210 line items); and school district food bids from Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, Master Grocery K-12 contract with 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens), Early County Schools (due June 8, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (grocery items and Net Off Invoice products, due April 29, 2026). Most solicitations are ITBs or IFBs with firm fixed pricing F.O.B. destination, no fuel surcharges, and delivery windows of 30–45 days. Oregon applies 5–10 percent preferences for in-state fabrication and resident headquarters; Texas and Georgia school districts emphasize USDA compliance, HACCP plans, and Buy American provisions. Contract terms typically run one year with renewal options. The code itself sees limited direct solicitation; business development should monitor broader frozen-vegetable classifications and institutional food service opportunities where this commodity nests within larger baskets.
