UNSPSC 50443513: Frozen moneymaker eggplants

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

UNSPSC 50443513 Frozen moneymaker eggplants is a Commodity code that bears little relevance to the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The solicitations tagged with this code show no frozen eggplant purchases whatsoever; instead, the recent opportunities reflect routine institutional food service procurement for frozen vegetables (carrots, corn, mixed vegetables, assorted blends), fresh produce, grocery staples, school nutrition programs, and food supply services across state corrections departments, school districts, and human services agencies. The code's nominal commodity—frozen moneymaker eggplants—does not appear in any of the posted RFPs, ITBs, or IFBs in the dataset, suggesting either a cataloging misalignment or minimal demand for this specific product line under state and local procurement.

Recent activity centers on frozen vegetable commodities more broadly: the Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for frozen corn, assorted vegetables, carrots, and mixed vegetables (July and June 2026 posting dates, ITB notice type, responses due late June through late July 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have solicited supplemental food and consumable products, including frozen specialty foods, for state hospitals and correctional facilities statewide; school districts in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia have issued food service bids covering frozen products alongside fresh and dry goods; and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and other county correctional facilities have requested groceries and frozen staples on an as-needed basis. Issuing bodies span state corrections and human services departments, school districts (elementary through high school), county jails and corrections facilities, and state-level nutrition and food distribution programs. The geographic spread is national, with concentrated recent activity in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic states. This code shows activity inconsistent with its stated commodity name and warrants verification of the correct UNSPSC classification for frozen eggplant products if they are a target market.
